Hi all,
I went fishing today and worked one of my fossil layers in the canyon on the way home (NF) to complete my day. happy088.gif
Most of the fauna fossils I find from this location are severely fragmented (not specimen grade) and the matrix is fairly brittle.
This one is nearly a complete leaf (unknown species) in a decent matrix... so I made a keeper out of it. Fun!

Nothing other than flora fossilization so far but the potential is there.
