2.4" Fossil Hackberry (Celtis) Leaf - Montana

This is a detailed fossil leaf of Celtis aspera (Hackberry) from the Fort Union Formation near Glendive, Montana. It is from the Paleocene, or approximately 60 million years ago. The dark orange/brown preservation contrasts nicely against the shale, and many of the veins of the leaf can be seen in good relief. There may be some touchups to the surface of the leaf where some of it flaked onto the negative during collection.

An acrylic display stand is included with this specimen.
