Stock Number  FPFERX3
EXTINCTIONS Choice

Name:   Fossil Seed Ferns
Age:  Pennsylvanian
Formation:  Llewellyn Formation
Location:  St. Clair, Pennsylvania
Size:  Plate is over 17 inches long

This is a large plate of fossil seed ferns from the Coal Age deposits near St. Clair, Pennsylvania. It is very hard to get a slab this large from this site, and even more difficult to get a slab of this size that is as nice as this one! The entire plate is covered with large seed fern fronds and branches - one frond is over 6 inches long! The seed ferns are preserved as a thin film of white pyrophyllite on black shale. There are fern fronds represented on the plate, and there are even ferns preserved on the back side of the plate. The fossil plants have excellent color and contrast and exhibit superb detail. This is a museum quality plate of Pennsylvanian plants from a classic location.
