Jeffrey P Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Frank collected some wonderful fern plates as you can see. Those Pecopteris are real exquisite! Congratulations. And that bark piece, I wish I could have snagged some of that. Here are a couple Alethopteris plates that I found. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey P Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 And I believe this is some kind of seed- Trigorocarpus maybe? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey P Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) And finally, a couple nice Neuropteris leaves (about three inches long) from a site near Pottsville, but the same formation: Overall, a couple great days collecting with wonderful company.

Thomas1982 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Great finds both of you!! I went fossil hunting in the same area today and last week, and found similar ferns. I make it a point visit my llewellyn sites at least ounce or twice a year with the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found one of these too and threw it on fossil ID but didn't get anything definitive.. I'm not familiar with any fern experts in our area...
