Name:
Fossil Seed Fern
Age: Pennsylvanian
Formation: Carbondale Formation
Location: Braidwood, Illinois
Size: Concretion is 4.6 inches long
Here is a very pretty fossil seed fern from the famous Mazon Creek area of Illinois. This Pennsylvanian plant is wonderfully preserved in a siderite concretion. Both halves of the concretion (part and counterpart) are present. This specimen exhibits very fine detail - the individual leaflets are clearly defined. The incredible color and contrast of the fossil is totally natural. No paint or coloring has been added to the specimen. This is a beautiful example of a seed fern from the Coal Age.
