Name:
Sphenophyllum sp.
Age: Pennsylvanian
Formation: Braidwood Formation
Location: Johnson County, Missouri
Size: Concretion is almost 2 inches long
This is an incredibly beautiful fossil plant. It is a split pair of Sphenophyllum branch from Johnson County, Missouri. Sphenophyllum are the leaf whorls of an extinct horsetail - they are related to the modern-day scouring rushes. The branch of ELEVEN "flowers" have great detail and are wonderfully showcased in the concretion. Both halves of the concretion are intact and offered together. This is a spectacular grouping of Sphenophyllum flowers preserved in a split pair concretion, easily the most prolific and beautiful example we have ever seen from this locality!
