Pennsylvanian Fossil Flora (Neuropteris & Annularia) Plate - Kentucky
This is a beautiful fossil flora plate from the Breathitt Formation of Leslie County, Kentucky. It contains seed fern (Neuropteris) pinnules (branches of leaflets), a small section of Annularia longifolia and a segment of a fossil horsetail (Calamites) stalk. It comes from the Late Carboniferous, Pennsylvanian aged forests that formed the coal shales of Kentucky and Ohio.
Neuropteris is an extinct genus of ferns that reproduced from seed as opposed to sporophyte reproduction of most modern ferns. Annularia is a genus and refers to the leaves or whorl of the jointed-stemmed plant, Calamites, a close relative of modern horsetails.
It comes with an acrylic display stand.
