This is a fine specimen of a Cardiospermum coloradensis, or Balloon Vine, leaf from the Green River Formation of Utah. Living members of Cardiospermum are herbaceous, or woody vines. The fossil species appear to represent shrubs rather than vines. This leaf is quite nice for the type and exhibits a rare bug-eaten lobe. The large-lobed leaf has great color and contrast and are well showcased on the large plate of shale that also includes five mosquitoes (RARE). This is a very distinct specimen of this strange-looking leaf from the Eocene.
