Green River Comose Seed and Climbing Fern AssociationDescription: Here is an interesting and rare association of a large partial Climbing Fern Leaf, and Comose Seed. Comose seeds are distinguished by their tufts of hair, like those of the cotton plants, which allow for wide dispersal. A nice find for the specialist collector of Green River fossil flora.

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.
