6.5" Pennsylvanian Fossil Fern (Neuropteris) Plate - Kentucky

This is a beautiful fossil flora plate that is littered with Neuropteris fossils. It was collected from the Breathitt Formation of Leslie County, Kentucky. This formation is a part of the Late Carboniferous, Pennsylvanian age 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 like most modern ferns. As with most seed ferns, Neurodontopteridaceae grew in tree form.

It comes with an acrylic display stand.
