Fern Fossil in Concretion

This is a classic plant fossil. It is a fossil Fern Frond from the famous Mazon Creek locality of Illinois. This specimen was acquired from an old collection and was found in the 1960's. This fern is preserved in a concretionary matrix, giving it excellent color and detail. The striking red coloration is fully natural, and the minute detail is exquisite. The distinct fern is wonderfully showcased in the center of the large nodule. And both halves of the split pair concretion are present. This is a very collectible plant fossil from the Mazon Creek flora.
This fossil was collected and obtained legally, and is also being sold legally.
