New Page Regarding Fossil Leaves Near Reno, Nevada

[Inyo]

Rather recently I uploaded a new fossils-related page called Late Miocene Fossil Leaves At Verdi, Washoe County, Nevada. It's all about a fascinating paleobotanical locality not far from Reno, Nevada, where nicely preserved carbonized leaves from some 18 species of plants demonstrate that 5.8 million years ago that part of the western Great Basin Desert resembled today's lush green California Gold Country, western foothills of the Sierra Nevada, from Placerville roughly south to Jackson.
