Name:
Fossil Seed Fern in Concretion
Age: Pennsylvanian
Formation: Braidwood Formation

This is a large fossil seed fern from the Pennsylvanian of Missouri. The distinct seed fern has been preserved in a siderite concretion. Both halves (part and counterpart) of the nodule are present. The dark color of the seed fern contrasts nicely with the orange-brown concretion. The fossil exhibits fine detail, and the individual frondlets are very well defined. This is a wonderful specimen of a large fossil seed fern from the Coal Age of the Midwestern United States.
