Name:
Annularia Branch
Age: Pennsylvanian
Formation: Braidwood Formation
Location: Johnson County, Missouri
Size: Concretion is 2 inches tall
Here is a very nice fossil plant from Missouri. This is Annularia sp. from the Coal Age. Annularia branches represent the leaf whorls of the Calamites plant. This fossil is wonderfully preserved in a siderite concretion. Both halves of the concretion are present, so both part and counterpart of the fossil are intact. The plant exhibits very fine detail - the central stem of the plant is quite visible, and three large, distinct whorls of long, linear leaves are clearly defined. The dark brown fossil contrasts well with the orange-brown matrix. This is an excellent specimen of an Annularia concretion from the ''Show Me'' State.
