This is a beautiful 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 there are a myriad of different shapes and sizes represented. 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 natural plate of shale. This is a very attractive plate of Coal Age fossils from Pennsylvania.
