Cooksonia sp. (?)

This is a plate of rare fossil plants. These are nice specimens of Cooksonia (Sargassites?) from the Eurypterid site in New York State. This is a Silurian plant from a brackish-water environment, so its occurrence in the fossil record is very limited. This multiple specimen has very good detail and super contrast. This is an excellent example of a very important Paleozoic plant fossil.
