Description: A small and very well preserved collection of Fossil flora from Central Nevada. Nevada has many fossil plant producing localities. They show that the state once had a much wetter and more temperate climate back in the Miocene. There were many more lakes in what is now the driest state in the USA. The Sierra uplift dramatically changed the climate and rainfall in the state. The specimens will be fully labeled.
