Tree Flower (Catkin) aff Platycara sp.
Green River Formation
Parachute Creek Member
Middle Eocene
Uintah County, Utah
This is a very nice fossil tree flower and may be related to the Family Juglandaceae, a relative to the walnut. The specimen has good detail with a single attached catkin and clusters of sessile flowers.
Fossil examples of this group are represented today by some of our best-known trees with many extant species. They usually have hard wood, and some have slim elongate clusters of small flowers called catkins. Fossil catkins belonging to this genus are uncommon.
