Three Fossil Leaves (Beringiaphyllum, Zizyphoides) - Montana

These are three detailed leaf fossils, Beringiaphyllum cupanoides (larger) & Zizyphoides flabellum (two smaller), from the Fort Union Formation near Glendive, Montana. They are from the Paleocene epoch, or approximately 60 million years old. The dark orange/brown preservation of the leaf fossils contrasts well against the shale. There may be some touchups to the surface of the leaves where some of it flaked onto the negative during collection.

This specimen includes an acrylic display stand.
