Mimosites Plant FossilDescription: This exceptionally well-detailed Mimosites branch has 15 full to partial leaves. Branches with leaves are highly desirable by plant collectors for their aesthetics, complexity and rarity. This would be a fine addition to the specialist collector’s holdings.


The Green River Formation holds one of the world’s richest depositories of fossil leaves, plants, vines and aquatic vegetation. My provider alone shows over seventy species he collects. Surely there are many more found. Not only is the variety of plant life phenomenal, the preservation is often superb. The Green River fossils I am offering are collected with the permission of the property owner on privately held land.
