Striking Multiple Fossil Fern Plate from Pennsylvania
Stock Number  FPFPA749
EXTINCTIONS Choice

Name:   Multiple Fossil Fern Plate
Age:  Pennsylvanian
Formation:  Llewellyn Formation
Location:  Near St. Clair, Pennsylvania
Size:  Plate is over 7 inches tall

This is a beautiful plant fossil. It is a striking plate of fossil fern fronds from Pennsylvania. This specimen is replaced with the mineral Pyrophyllite, which gives the fossil its stunning white color. The distinct ferns have great detail and contrast beautifully with the black matrix plate. The large fronds are easily seen on the plate, which is quite aesthetic. And there are even ferns preserved on the back side of the plate. This is a very collectible grouping of displayable fossil plants from the Coal Age.
