Description from the seller

Fascinating specimen of a fossil leaf from a European Pliocene lake deposit. The site of origin corresponds to an ancient lake that existed for an estimated period of about one million years, during which fine and consistent sedimentation allowed for detailed preservation of the plant material.

The surface of the slab shows clearly readable leaf imprints, with visible veins that attest to the environmental conditions of the time. It is an ideal artifact for both paleobotanist collectors and those seeking a decorative piece with scientific value.

Age: Pliocene (approximately 5.3–2.6 million years ago)

Training environment: lake deposit

Origin: Europe

Plate dimensions: 23*14*3 cm

Maximum size of the main leaf: 6 cm.


The artifact is in good preservation condition, ready to be displayed or included in a thematic collection dedicated to paleobotany or Cenozoic paleoenvironment.

Accurate shipping with protective packaging.
