Ancient Currents Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Found this a while back in tailings from coal mining. Is it a fern? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) Yes, it appears to be some form of Alethopteris sp. possibly. Not sure. Where was it found? (State, county) Any chance of a better picture?

Carl Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Just to be clear, if it is Alethopteris it's technically not a fern. It would be a seed fern which are not at all true ferns. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
