5.5" Pennsylvanian Fern (Neuropteris) Plate - Kentucky
This is a fossil seed fern (Neuropteris) plate, from the Breathitt Formation, Leslie County, Kentucky. It contains a collection of stalks, pinnule (branch of leaflets) and leaflets. One side of the plate contains unidentified plant material, possibly from the horsetail-like Calamites. It comes from the Late Carboniferous, Pennsylvanian aged forests that formed the coal shales of Kentucky and Ohio.
Neuropteris is genus of seed fern, extinct species of fern that reproduced from seed as opposed to sporophyte reproduction of most modern ferns.
It comes with an acrylic display stand.
