Description: An exceptionally well preserved and hard to find leaf species from Nevada. Small, but stunning. It will be shipped in a glass covered riker mount for protection.

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.
