3.85" Pennsylvanian Fossil Fern (Neuropteris) Plate - Kentucky

This is a beautiful fossil flora plate containing Neuropteris fern leaf impressions. It was collected from the Breathitt Formation of Leslie County, Kentucky. This formation is a part of the Late Carboniferous, Pennsylvanian age forests that formed the coal shales of Kentucky and Ohio.

It comes with an acrylic display stand.

Neuropteris is an extinct genus of fern that reproduced from seed as opposed to sporophyte reproduction like most modern ferns. As with most seed ferns, Neurodontopteridaceae grew in tree form.
