Calling on the usual crowd to either confirm or refute my meager attempts at identification. I'm not sure on any of these three. @bigred97 @connorp @deutscheben @fiddlehead @flipper559 @Nimravis @RCFossils @stats @TheRocksWillShoutHisGlory I truly appreciate your input. Thank you in advance for taking a look.

 

And anyone else who would like to offer an opinion -- thank you as well.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

All seem like reasonable IDs to me.

 

Thanks for taking a look. I can't wait to see what you found at Mazonia.

I took another look at E0112 and I think it more closely fits the description of Neuropteris vermicularis. If anyone can confirm that it is or isn't I would appreciate it. Thank you.

Mark, very nice specimens! I wish could help but I havent gone thru Jack's descriptions in the new book. Perhaps you've already done this but make a checklist of point by point for each. I looked and I dont recognize all the terms but start with the simple ones like count of vein description/splits and vein per cm to see if there is anything glaring to help distinguish them in your specimen. Having looked at all the Neuropterids I almost want to build a spreadsheet for each of the different species/features..maybe when I retire that would be fun to do...cause my memory is gone once I turn the page. 

Hoping someone more versed can easily sort this out for you. 

Regards, Chris

Those look correct to me.

Thanks for the confirmation. Did you notice the entry that states I think the M. macrophylla is N. vermicularis?
