Mark Kmiecik Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Any chance that it's hawthorn or sycamore? Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal peacock opal mine Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 Thank you all for your quick responses. I forgot how useful of a tool this forum is. It would probably help to say that in this leaf’s time it lived next to what appears to be a large river. I find little opalized berry looking things. Most of the time looks like they’ve been crushed with what could be a seed in the middle (like a one gallon vacuum sealed bag with an apple in it minus 1000) rarley very berry looking. Always thought ginkgo berries. All the way up until today. When looking at all the information provided. I remember not too long after finding this leaf there was a helicopter leaf fossil found there as well. sounds like sycamore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
