5.3" Pennsylvanian Fossil Fern (Neuropteris & Macroneuropteris) Plate

Pennsylvanian Fossil Fern (Neuropteris & Macroneuropteris) Plate #214188

This is a beautiful fossil flora plate that contains Neuropteris and Macroneuropteris fossils. 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.

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.
