Two Fern Fronds Preserved in Concretion
Stock Number  FPFMI31

Name:   Fossil Seed Fern
Age:  Pennsylvanian
Formation:  Braidwood Formation
Location:  Johnson County, Missouri

Here is a very nice siderite concretion from the Pennsylvanian of Missouri. The nodule contains two long fronds of an extinct seed fern. Both halves of the concretion are present, which is somewhat unusual. The fossils have great natural color and outstanding contrast. The ferns have very fine detail preserved. This is a very pretty split pair of fossil seed ferns.
