I have several specimens that look similar, the best of which are attached. The margin of the leaves have deep dentation (is that the right term for it?) or very long fine notches. 

 

I found them in central Pennsylvania, in a Pennsylvanian period coal strip mine. 

 

Any idea on a genus or species?

Neuropteris fimbriata is a possibility.

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