Name:
Annularia sp.
Age: Pennsylvanian
Formation: Braidwood Formation
Location: Johnson County, Missouri
Size: Concretion is a little more than 2" long
This is an excellent specimen of Annularia sp. from the Coal Age of Missouri. Annularia represent the leaf whorls found at the nodes of the Calamites plant. This fossil plant is wonderfully preserved in a concretion. Both halves of the concretion are present so both part and counterpart are intact. The central stem of the plant is quite evident and three distinct whorls of long, linear leaves are beautifully displayed. The dark brownish-black fossil plant contrasts well with the yellowish-orange concretionary matrix. This is a very appealing example of this Pennsylvanian plant.
