6.6" Pennsylvanian Age Fossil Plant Plate - Kentucky
This is a fossil seed fern plate from the Breathitt Formation of Leslie County, Kentucky. It contains a collection of fern leaflets of two different genus' of ferns (Neuropteris & Macroneuropteris) and fossil horsetail (Sphenophyllum sp.) leaves.
