North Carolina Fossil Leaf Impression
Paleogene-Neogene
About North Carolina Fossil Leaf Impression
The North Carolina Fossil Leaf Impression is a plant fossil dating to the Paleogene-Neogene. Fossil Leaf Impression is a realistic North Carolina fossil profile built around leaf compression or impression preserved in fine lake or floodplain sediments. In this state, success usually comes from learning roadcuts through limestone and shale, coal spoils, and stream gravels, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.
“According to TroveRadar, North Carolina Fossil Leaf Impression fossils from the Paleogene-Neogene are found across North Carolina. TroveRadar's field database catalogs 795+ fossil entries for identification and collection guidance.”
