9.6" Pennsylvanian Fossil Flora Plate - Kentucky

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

Annularia is a genus and refers to the leaves or whorl of the jointed-stemmed plant, Calamites, a close relative of modern horsetails. Neuropteris and Macroneuropteris are extinct genera of seed ferns that reproduced from seed as opposed to sporophyte reproduction of most modern ferns.

It comes with an acrylic display stand.
