Here is a chance to get an Amazing Fossil Sumac Leaf for someone who collects fossil flora. But it can also be as a gift for that someone special or yourself. This Leaf has not been retouched, painted, enhanced in any way. Because this is the way they look when they come out of the ground, they present very well. Sometimes a little cleaning is all that is necessary. Because these are exceptionally detailed leaves they sometimes show the veins. But this one also has a short stem attached as well.
Because the area around Utah is well known for the fossils it has become a very popular place to dig for fossils. But not all fossils from this location are as detailed as this. Nearly everything in that ecosystem can be found at some point while digging in various parts of the formation. The original lake was over 900 square miles but only several Buttes are still producing such wonderful specimens. Because of type of rock and the preservation nearly all the fossils from this location have great detail.
