Stock Number  FPFPA94
EXTINCTIONS Choice

Name:   Fern Frond and Sphenophyllum
Age:  Pennsylvanian
Formation:  Llewellyn Formation
Location:  Near St. Clair, Pennsylvania
Size:  Plate is 6.8 inches across

This is a very distinct plant fossil. It is a striking plate with a fern frond and a Sphenophyllum branch from Pennsylvania. This specimen is replaced with the mineral Pyrophyllite, which gives the fossils their stunning white color. The plants have great detail preserved and contrast beautifully with the black matrix plate.The fossils are almost perfectly spaced on the natural plate of shale. This is a collectible pair of fossil plants from the Coal Age of Pennsylvania.
