Fossil sycamore leaf
| Description: |
The Green River Formation, an area extending through Wyoming, Colorado and Utah, is known throughout the world for its excellent preservation of fossils. This formation developed over 40 million years ago in deposits that are the remains of large lake systems. The extremely fine-grained sediments of this formation preserve in fine detail the remains of many animals and plants such as this sycamore leaf. |
