Striking Fossil Seed Fern Plate from Pennsylvania
Stock Number  FPFPA802
EXTINCTIONS Choice

Name:   Fossil Seed Fern Plate
Age:  Pennsylvanian
Formation:  Llewellyn Formation
Location:  Near St. Clair, Pennsylvania
Size:   Plate is 16 inches across!

This is a very large plate of plants from the now-closed location at St. Clair, Pennsylvania. The fossils are preserved as a thin film of white-to-yellow-white pyrophyllite on black shale. There are two different types of ferns fossilized on the plate. The detail and color of the fossils is quite nice. The plants are nicely scattered about the large, natural plate of shale. This is a very large, very fine grouping of fossil plants from the Coal Regions of Pennsylvania.
