Fort Union Formation
Glendive, Montana, USA

This brick exhibits a mottled grayish matrix with some "odd" imprints, but it is also home to two large fossil Paleocene leaves. The larger example has excellent definition and a pronounced venation. With darker color, the smaller leaf has a stem giving it a balloon-like quality. This is a magnificent fossil pair.
