Can anyone identify this plant from Pennsylvania?

Where is it from?

 

Also, can we get a picture looking directly down on the fossils, not an oblique angle?

Looks a bit like Triphyllopteris latiloba to me. Mississippian however. The leaves are considered a lobed pinnule. Also could be Odontopteris brardii or Mariopteris eremopteroides.

We commonly use Ohio and West Virginia resources for identification here in PA.

 

Plate reference for the first species:

Looks like what was formerly known as Mariopteris cf. lobata, but was reclassified as Eusphenopteris lobata
