Name:
Unidentified Lace Fern
Age: Pennsylvanian
Formation: Braidwood Formation
Location: Johnson County, Missouri
Size: Concretion is 2 inches long
Here is a very pretty fossil seed fern from the Pennsylvanian of Missouri. Seed ferns differ from true ferns in the method of reproduction - they reproduce by seeds rather than spores. The beautiful fossil is preserved in a siderite concretion, and both halves of the concretion are present. The fossil exhibits fine detail - even the venation of the individual leaflets is evident. The seed fern has great color and excellent contrast and is wonderfully showcased in the concretion. This is a very aesthetic specimen of this unusual species of seed fern from the Coal Age.
