Fine Leguminosites Leaf Fossil from Green River Formation

Description: This is fine example of a leaf from a member of the Leguminosae (Pea family), one of the largest of families of flowering plants. As in life, the venation is light and faint, the petiole short. This would be a nice addition for the specialist collector of Green River plants.

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.
