Samurai Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) Location: Missouri Time period: Pennsylvanian Formation: Possibly Upper Winterset Limestone Hello! I happened to come across one odd fossil that I could not recognize Some close ups on the leaves The only thing I could certainly determine it is some sort of Fern but beyond that I am unfamiliar of what species it could belong to My next specimen is a Fern leaf of some sort but due to its poor preservation is hard for me to determine what it is from, any Ideas?

Plantguy Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Neat finds! I'm thinking the first fragment is a section thru the part of a spore cone. possibly something like Calamostachys.. The other I dont recognize readily..maybe a neuropterid? pinnule fragment. Regards, Chris 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
