Fossil Seed Group – Eocene Plant Fossils from Fossil Lake, Green River Formation
This exceptional Fossil Seed Group originates from the Eocene epoch, approximately 50 million years ago, and was recovered from the renowned Fossil Lake deposits of the Green River Formation in southwestern Wyoming. Ancient Fossil Lake once covered nearly 930 square miles, and its unique chemical conditions prevented decay and scavenging, allowing fossils to be preserved in finely laminated limestone with remarkable clarity.

These fossilized seeds represent the diverse subtropical vegetation that surrounded the lake during the Paleogene. The Green River Formation preserves the most complete record of a freshwater lake ecosystem, featuring abundant fossil fish, aquatic organisms, and a wide range of terrestrial life. Alongside the seeds, fossils of insects, crustaceans, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and more than 325 varieties of leaves, seeds, and flowers provide unparalleled insight into Eocene plant diversity and paleoecology.

Ideal for fossil collectors, paleobotany enthusiasts, educators, and museum displays, this Fossil Seed Group is both scientifically important and visually engaging. It offers a tangible connection to the lush Eocene landscapes of North America and highlights the extraordinary botanical richness preserved within the Green River Formation, making it a valuable addition to any collection or educational exhibit.
