izak_ Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) A few days ago we visited Penrose State Forest (south of Sydney, Australia) to look for fossilised leaves. There are a few specimens from this locality in the Australian Museum collection and one of our contacts tracked down the sites many years ago. I'm not sure which species are represented here, there are a few similar described Tertiary sites like this one in Australia but this one hasn't been studied to my understanding. I doubt these can be reliably identified given the poor quality of preservation but they're still really pretty imo, the matrix is gorgeous. Here is the first specimen, I'll post some others as I photograph them Edited April 30, 2023 by izak_ 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Beautiful fossils! Thanks for showing us material from a site that (I suspect) is unknown to the majority of the members here. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
