Each rock usually contains an abundance of insects and floral material, primarily leaves. United States, is the Green River Formation of Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado of Eocene age(i.e., formed 57.8 to 36.6 million years ago). This vast deposit contains fossils and sedimentary structures, suggesting rapid deposition and burial of unoxidized organic matter in shallow lakes or marine embayments.
