7.4" Pennsylvanian Fossil Seed Fern (Neuropteris) Plate - Kentucky

Pennsylvanian Fossil Seed Fern (Neuropteris) Plate - Kentucky #214207

This is a gorgeous fossil flora plate that contains seed fern (Neuropteris sp.) 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.

Both sides of this plate contains Neuropteris fossils. 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.
