Pseudosalix Green River Leaf FossilDescription: Pseudosalix handlelyi is a newly described extinct genus of the family Salicaceae. Presented is a large, finely preserved specimen, showcasing fine venation and the full petiole.

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.
