Neuropteris Seed Fern Leaf - Mazon Creek
This is an outstanding fossil leaf of the seed fern Neuropteris from the famous Mazon Creek Lagerstätte. It is about 2.4 inches in length, has remarkable detail and contrasts very well with the ironstone nodule that it is preserved in. These ironstone nodules have been collected for decades from the spoil heaps of abandoned coil mines near Braidwood, Illinois.
