Description

Leaf:  simple; symmetrical; suborbiculate, rhombic; apex acute with a rounded tip; base decurrent; margin entire at base, entire at the apex, possibly coarsely crenate between; crenations with rounded apices and angular obtuse sinuses; venation pinnate, craspedodromous (?); midvein moderate to stout, straight; secondary veins decurrent on the midvein and forming an angle of 30-35° with the midvein, straight or nearly so; tertiary veins indistinct.

Remarks

This possibly represents an immature leaf.  The preservation is poor and the venation details obscure.  It could perhaps be included in the hamamelid-like forms.
