EXTINCTIONS Choice

This is a large plate of spectacular 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. 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 (nearly a foot tall!), natural plate of shale. And the main frond in the middle of the slab is six and a half inches long! This is a very collectible plate of distinct Coal Age fossils from Pennsylvania.
