Fossil Seed Fern Plate
Age: Pennsylvanian
Formation: Llewellyn Formation
Location: Near St. Clair, Pennsylvania
Size: Plate is 11.3 inches across
This is a large plate of fossil seed ferns from the Coal Age deposits near St. Clair, Pennsylvania. It is very hard to get a slab this large from this site, let alone a slab of this size that is this full of fossils! The entire slab is covered with large seed fern fronds and branches. The seed ferns are preserved as a thin film of white pyrophyllite on black shale - quite striking! The fossil plants have excellent color and contrast and exhibit superb detail. This whole slab is one piece - it has never been broken or pieced together! And the back side is almost as covered with ferns as the front side (not pictured). This is a cool, large double-sided display plate of Pennsylvanian plants from a classic location.
