EXTINCTIONS Choice

Name:   Split Pair Fern Plate
Age:  Pennsylvanian
Formation:  Llewellyn Formation

This is a very cool plant fossil. It is a striking split pair fossil fern plate from Pennsylvania. This specimen is replaced with the mineral Pyrophyllite, which gives the fossil its stunning white color. Only an elite few layers from this site have the bright white ferns, and this piece is from those layers. This piece was split open to not only reveal white ferns, but both halves of the plate are intact and offered together! How many collections has a split pair fern piece like this one? This is an extremely collectible split pair grouping of fossil fern fronds from Pennsylvania.
