Here is a great specimen of Persea coriacea from the Eocene of Utah. This wonderful fossil leaf has an almost asymmetrical base and an acuminate apex. The dentate margins of the leaf are beautifully displayed and the primary venation is easily seen. The long petiole of the leaf is still tightly attached. This fossil leaf has excellent dark brown color and contrasts nicely with the khaki-colored matrix. It is almost perfectly centered on the rectangular plate of shale. This is a very striking specimen of Persea, a member of the Laurel family.
