Fossil Flower Group – Eocene Plant Specimens from Fossil Lake
Step back 50 million years with this extraordinary Fossil Flower Group, preserved in the renowned Green River Formation of southwestern Wyoming. Fossil Lake, once covering nearly 930 square miles, contains exceptionally fossiliferous laminated limestone layers formed under unique geochemical conditions that prevented decay and scavenging, preserving one of the most complete Paleogene freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems in the world.
This specimen features a group of fossilized flowers, offering rare insight into the diversity, structure, and reproductive biology of Eocene plants. Fossils from Fossil Lake capture an entire ecosystem, including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, insects, and over 325 types of leaves, seeds, and flowers, providing a vivid snapshot of ancient subtropical lake-margin vegetation and freshwater habitats.
Ideal for fossil collectors, paleobotany enthusiasts, educators, and museums, this Fossil Flower Group is both a scientifically valuable and visually striking specimen, perfect for study, display, or educational purposes. It provides a tangible connection to the lush Eocene landscapes of North America and the remarkable biodiversity preserved in the Green River Formation, making it a standout addition to any collection or exhibit.
