About Idaho Fossil Leaf Impression

The Idaho Fossil Leaf Impression is a plant fossil dating to the Paleogene-Neogene. Fossil Leaf Impression is a realistic Idaho fossil profile built around leaf compression or impression preserved in fine lake or floodplain sediments. In this state, success usually comes from learning marine shales, volcanic ash beds, and river gravels, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.

“According to TroveRadar, Idaho Fossil Leaf Impression fossils from the Paleogene-Neogene are found across Idaho. TroveRadar's field database catalogs 795+ fossil entries for identification and collection guidance.
