Here is a very pretty fossil seed fern from the Pennsylvanian of Missouri. Seed ferns differ from true ferns in the method of reproduction. They reproduce by seeds rather than spores. The fossil is preserved in a siderite concretion. Both halves of the concretion are present. The fossil exhibits fine detail. The venation of the individual leaflets is evident. The seed fern has great color and excellent contrast. This is a very nice specimen of this unusual species of seed fern from the Coal Age.
