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 shapes - there are even Sphenophyllum flowers preserved! The fossil 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. And the back side of the plate is almost as impressive as the front side!(not pictured) This is a very attractive two-sided plate of Coal Age fossils from Pennsylvania.
