Fagapsis Immature Fruit
Step back 50 million years with this remarkable Fagapsis Immature Fruit fossil, preserved in the Green River Formation of southwestern Wyoming. Fossil Lake, once spanning up to 930 square miles, contains exceptionally fossiliferous laminated limestone layers formed from unique geochemical conditions that prevented decay and scavenging, preserving an unparalleled record of Paleogene freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems.
This specimen features immature Fagapsis fruit, providing rare insight into Eocene plant development and reproductive biology. Fossils from Fossil Lake capture a complete ecosystem, including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, insects, and over 325 types of leaves, seeds, and flowers, offering an extraordinary window into ancient subtropical lake-margin vegetation and freshwater habitats.
Ideal for fossil collectors, paleobotany enthusiasts, educators, and museums, this Fagapsis Immature Fruit fossil is both scientifically valuable and visually striking, making it perfect for display, study, or educational purposes. It provides a tangible connection to the lush Eocene landscapes of North America and the incredible biodiversity preserved in the Green River Formation, making it a standout addition to any collection or exhibit.
