Diplotomodon Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 And a very nice leaf as well! What a wonderful menagerie! Who would believe that such as register lay buried in the strata? To open the leaves, to unroll the papyrus, has been an intensely interesting though difficult work, having all the excitement and marvelous development of a romance. And yet the volume is only partly read. Many a new page I fancy will yet be opened. -- Edward Hitchcock, 1858 Formerly known on the forum as Crimsonraptor @Diplotomodon on Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dromiopsis Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 Hello, Just to include an answer I received in a forum in France about the same topic Id. Apparently, It seems that this angiosperme leaf is a "Quercus" Genus,Genus in the list in the pdf file attached, like the actual living in dry area.

MOROPUS Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Yep, I was thinking about it. Quercus (oaks) was widespread during miocene, with several (and strange)species; some heavely serrated, and some so flat, that frequently are mistaken with other trees...Nice one!
