Name:
Fossil Seed Fern
Age: Pennsylvanian
Formation: Carbondale Formation
Location: Braidwood, Illinois
Size: Concretion is 3.2 inches long.
Here is a very nice fossil seed fern from the famous Mazon Creek area of Illinois. This plant is preserved in a siderite concretion. Both halves of the concretion (part and counterpart) are present. This specimen exhibits excellent detail. The central "stem" is quite apparent and each individual leaflet is clearly defined. Under magnification, one can easily see the venation of the leaflets. The incredible color and contrast of the fossil is totally natural. No paint or coloring has been added to the specimen. This is a very aesthetic seed fern preserved in a concretion.
