I know these aren't rare or unusual but this is a really nice example of Cordaites from the Pennsylvanian. Just thought you would enjoy looking at it! :)

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.

You'd be right! The dendrites are a nice touch.

Nice one.

I find it fascinating how those leaves show up in the Winterset all along its outcrop belt—or at least as far as I've seen it.

Context is critical.
