Oak Plant Fossil Leaf Description: One of the more uncommon fossil species of oak, this would be a nice addition to the plant specialist collection. It is complete with good color and contrast.

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 to 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.
