This fossil palm frond from the Green River Formation offers a striking and decorative example of Eocene plant life from one of North America’s most celebrated fossil localities. The frond is presented in a broad, fan-like arrangement, with elongated leaf segments radiating outward from a gently curving petiole (stem), creating a balanced and visually engaging composition across the stone.
Attributed to the extinct palm genus Sabalites, the specimen reflects the warm, subtropical environments that characterized the region during the Eocene epoch. Palms are among the most recognizable elements of the Green River flora, and examples of this scale remain relatively uncommon on the market.
Measuring approximately 48 by 36 inches, the plaque has a strong wall presence and reads equally well as a scientific specimen or as a refined natural-history object. Its overall appearance is cohesive and elegant, accented by a small Diplomystus (fish), offering an evocative glimpse into an ancient landscape. A detailed condition report is available upon request.
