EXTINCTIONS Choice

Formation:  Llewellyn Formation

This is a very large plate of fossil Seed Ferns from the classic St. Clair, Pennsylvania locality. The Seed Ferns are preserved as a thin film of white pyrophyllite on black shale. The plate has many fronds intact, and many are different sizes and shades of white. The Seed Ferns exhibit wonderful detail - the individual leaflets of the fronds are clearly defined. The fossils have outstanding color and contrast and are well presented on the large, natural plate of shale, with many fossils even preserved on the back side! This is a very displayable plate of Coal Age fossils from Pennsylvania.
