This is a very pretty fossil plant. It is a split pair of Sphenophyllum from Johnson County, Missouri. Sphenophyllum are the leaf whorls of an extinct horsetail. They are related to the modern-day scouring rushes. The two whorls have great detail and are nicely showcased in the concretion. Both halves of the concretion are intact and offered together. This is a beautiful pair of Sphenophyllum whorls preserved in a split pair concretion.
