Sabalites sp. Eocene Green River Formation, Wyoming A magnificent example of a very rare fossil palm flower. The early Eocene Green River Formation has produced some of the finest botanical fossils ever seen, and this amazing specimen upholds those standards. The sabal palms produced many palm fronds but very few flowers and even fewer are actually fossilized. This specimen was quarried from the F-1 Horizon (18-inch layer.) The dramatic presentation and color contrast of this specimen lends itself to any interior design environment.
