    Description

    Here is a fossil plant leaf, from the world-famous fossil beds of Fossil Lake, Green River Formation, Wyoming. From the Eocene, about 52 million years ago.
    The leaf is undescribed. There are hundreds of undescribed species of plant fossils from Fossil Lake, so much work remains.
    The leaf is about 1.5" (3.8 cm.) in length. The matrix plate is about 2.5" by 2.9", and it weighs 6.3 oz. The leaf is complete, and there is no restoration, repair, or paint added.
    We invite you to visit our store, and see items and fossils ranging from budget to world-class.
    We are happy to enclose a COA (Certificate of Authenticity) upon request.  Some words of warning about COA’s: Do not let them become a substitute for learning about the fossils. We have been working with fossils for many years, and we have seen hundreds of very nice-looking COA’s, some that are flat-out wrong, mis-describing a specimen. In addition, the person selling the item is usually the one who writes the COA (potential conflict of interest). Finally, a COA without a photo of the exact item described, tied to the COA, is worthless, as it can later be placed next to any fish fossil.
    We suggest that instead of relying on a COA, that people read and study the subject. Two top-quality books, both written by Lance Grande of the University of Chicago, are masterful sources of information on Green River Formation fossils. One is Paleontology of the Green River Formation, 1984. The other, The Lost World of Fossil Lake, written in 2013, is less detailed but loaded with excellent photos.  Learn and study about what you are buying, and soon you will find you will be able to easily identify the fish yourself.
