The leaves may be Paracarpinus. The lighter outline (impression) and the similar remains to its left look like Sequoia affinis foliage.

I don't see anything that looks like Florissantia.

It was an accident. Didn’t mean to post twice.

The first photo looks like a stick and is likely not ID-able.  Florissantia is the best known flower found at Florissant in Colorado.  I don't know if its leaves are known.   Have a look at this publication to ID leaves.
