Bonehunter Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 So here are two more fossil "leaves"- one I found in Missouri but not sure where and the other (dark) purchased at a gem and mineral show in St. Louis when I was a kid-I have no idea where it was found, but I do remember it was a "local" show. The first was part of my early fossil museum ( at that time there was no fee for entering I was only 12!!! ). Am I correct with the little card?. Don't know how I came up with the species. I don't know the other one at all but it was "found" and then filed/sanded into this shape is all I know. Thanks for any help i.d.ing!

Bguild Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Hey there, The first fossil definitely looks like neuropteris, but based on these photos it’s hard to see enough detail to call it Neuropteris Scheuchzeri. I’d go with Neuropteris sp. The 2nd fossil looks to be Pecopteris sp. from Mazon Creek. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I don't think your second item was sanded into that shape, that's the way Mazon Creek nodules are shaped out of the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
