EPawsF15 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 During my third trip to a Fern Glen outcropping, I came across this specimen. It doesn't really resemble anything else I've found there. Luckily the "spines" are pretty sturdy, and I didn't break any of them when digging it out. Any ideas? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paleoflor Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Not at all what I expected when I read "spiny fern" (and clicked before reading the "glen" bit ), but beautiful little fossil! Searching for green in the dark grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
