You have great plant examples. I hope you can bring some of them to the NCFC meeting on the 15th.

Thank you Ziggie...I thought the meeting was on the 15th??

I think this one is likely Megalopteris and not Macroneuropteris.

Probably Megalopteris ovata. (much rarer than the common Macroneuropteris

Here's the detail. and a detail with the veination highlighted that match Megalopteris.

and here's an illustration of a megalopteris from Ohio and a cardiocarpon seed similar to the one you posted in the other thread. Some suggested that these could be the seed of Megalopteris awhile back not sure i that is still suggested or not.

Wow Paul, the research you are doing on these is amazing, and I cannot thank you enough. So, I will change the name of the specimen. Do you know what I should call the seed?

[saysac]

Paul, I had this identified as Megalopteris, is this correct?

[Stocksdale]

Yes, I think that's Megalopteris, too.
