Fossil Ferns and Branch
Age: Pennsylvanian
Formation: Llewellyn Formation
Location: Near St. Clair, Pennsylvania

This is an unusual plant fossil. It is a striking plate of fossil fern fronds and a branch from Pennsylvania. This specimen is replaced with the mineral Pyrophyllite, which gives the fossil its stunning white color. The ferns have great detail and contrast beautifully with the black matrix plate. There is also a large branch, which is also easily seen on the plate, and is quite interesting. This is a very cool grouping of fossil plants from the Coal Age.
