Fossil leaves - Illawarra coal measure, New South Wales

Both of these images are leaf fossils from the Illawarra coal measures in New South Wales. They have been dated to the Permian! They were provided by Dr C. Mays as teaching samples for a class I assisted teaching at Monash University and I couldn't resist snapping a few photos. They're lovely examples of preservation.
