Fern identification North Attleboro MA

Recommended Posts

I found this little fern at the North Attleboro fossil site, and I cannot seem to put an ID on it. The leaves seem to be confluent, so i’m thinking maybe a juvenile Alethopteris or some other Pteridospermatophyte

Looks like Sphenopteris or Eusphenopteris, to me.
