Feather and Leaves Fossil – Exquisite Eocene Specimen from the Green River Formation
Explore the ancient world with this exceptional Feather and Leaves fossil, dating to the Eocene epoch, approximately 50 million years ago. Preserved in the renowned Green River Formation of southwestern Wyoming, this specimen showcases the remarkable fossil preservation for which Fossil Lake is famous. The lake’s unique geochemistry created laminated limestone layers that entombed an extraordinary array of life, capturing freshwater ecosystems including fish, insects, crustaceans, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and terrestrial mammals, alongside botanical remains.
This specimen features delicate leaves and feather impressions, offering unparalleled insight into Paleogene plant life and ecosystems. The Green River Formation has produced over 325 varieties of fossil leaves, seeds, and flowers, making it one of the world’s most significant fossil sites for understanding early Cenozoic freshwater environments. Ideal for fossil collectors, educators, paleontology enthusiasts, and museums, this Feather and Leaves fossil is both a scientifically valuable specimen and a visually striking display piece, providing a tangible connection to the ancient Eocene landscapes of North America and the diverse life forms preserved in Fossil Lake.
