Fossil Seed Fern
Age: Pennsylvanian
Formation: Carbondale Formation
Location: Braidwood, Illinois

Here is a fine Pennsylvanian plant fossil. It is a beautiful fossil Seed Fern from the famous Mazon Creek deposits of Illinois. This fern fossil is well preserved in a siderite concretion - both halves of the concretion are present, so both part and counterpart are intact. The fossil plant exhibits wonderful detail - the central stem is clearly defined, and the individual leaflets are beautifully displayed. The fossil has great, natural color and striking contrast. This is a very distinct example of a fossil Seed Fern from this classic locality.
