Here is a very nice plate of two different fossil leaves from the Green River Formation of Colorado. There are two very different leaves on the plate. The multi-lobed leaf on the right of the plate is Macginitiea wyomingensis, a Sycamore Leaf. This leaf has all five lobes preserved with the tips intact, which is quite unusual. This Sycamore leaf exhibits very fine detail and still has the petiole attached. On the left of the slab is a very distinct Allophylus flexifolia leaf. This leaf shows major signs of insect predation - there are large sections that have been bug-eaten. The fossils have great color and contrast and are beautifully showcased on the semi-rectangular plate of shale that also contains two smaller leaves. This is a very collectible display plate of a classic Sycamore and a cool bug-eaten leaf from Colorado.
