Fossil angiosperm leaf from Dakota Fm, Kansas. Leaf is about 8cm long.
A 95 million year old angiosperm leaf preserved as an impression in an iron-cemented sandstone. The original leaf may have gone, but you can still see where invertebrates nibbled it.
From Dakota Formation, Kansas. Cenomanian, probably.

I'm finally here, and I'm still working in palaeobotany. Here is a unpublished mummified leaf from the Neogene of Madeira Island. :)
