Beautiful Plate Of Fossil Seed Ferns From Germany
Stock Number  FPGER06

Name:   Fossil Seed Ferns
Age:  Pennsylvanian (Upper Carboniferous)
Formation:  Westfalian
Location:  Piesberg, Germany
Size:  Plate is 3.1'' X 3.3''

This is a beautiful plant fossil. It is a double Seed Fern from the Pennsylvanian (Upper Carboniferous) of Germany. Both fronds are side by side and even have the complete tips intact. The specimen has been meticulously prepared by hand so that the fossil plants are in high relief - they almost appear to be floating on top of the matrix. The central stems are easily seen, and the individual leaflets are beautifully displayed. The fossils have outstanding color and contrast and are well presented on the somewhat squared plate of dense shale. This is a very displayable specimen of fossil plants from the Coal Age.
