A long time ago I had neglected to turn over a piece of Winterset limestone that contained ferns and to my surprise on the back was this specimen! I was told it could be a Neuropters lindalhi a couple of months ago and never uploaded it onto this site.

I was recently contacted by a specialist who is studying Neuropteris lindahli and identified this section as most certainly being another piece, I have another section here which he identified as another Neuropteris lindahli mislabeled as Pecopteris sp.

When this came out of the earth I was shocked by how many were bundled together as I mostly find only fragmentary pieces of one specimen.

These have been identified as Neuropteris lindalhi (White) .

The small limestone chunk on the left is a piece that came undone at the site I found this fossil at.
