4.5" Pennsylvanian Fossil Flora (Neuropteris and Lepidodendron) Plate

This is a beautiful fossil flora plate that contains a Neuropteris pinna and scale tree (Lepidodendron) leaves. This plate was collected from the Breathitt Formation of Leslie County, Kentucky. It comes from the Late Carboniferous, Pennsylvanian aged forests that formed the coal shales of Kentucky and Ohio.

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

It comes with an acrylic display stand.
