  My youngest son found this leaf last year and its been sittin im my garage for awhile.  I had my middle son trim up the rock and ready for me to do my majic.   Found in Colorado, Green River Formation, Eocene

With just some careful brushing with some cut Glyptal you can see how the left side is much better now.

I did just a tad bit of scribing to expose the tips and stems of the two little leafs and then some more careful brushing with my glyptal and WA LAAA!!!

Great job! Your work is incredible.

 By the way, is that Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer's phone number I see over the bench?  If so, could you provide the area code? (lol)

That's it! 

The reason that there is so much wonderful stuff in Ron's shed is that Santa stores his fossil stock there! :)

Very nice!!  Never seen one that large outside of a museum.  Who says size doesn't matter?

Thank you and its actually Rudolfo.  He is our chiminey sweep. 

 

Thanks to everyone else and its not my leaf.  My son is going to pick up both sides tomorrow.  Then I can go find a lonely spot behind the house and cry softly.

Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties.
