6.2" Fossil Flora (Alethopteris & Lepidodendron) Plate - Kentucky
This is a gorgeous fossil flora plate that contains both Alethopteris and Neuropteris fossils. It was collected from the Breathitt Formation of Leslie County, Kentucky. It comes from the Late Carboniferous, Pennsylvanian aged forests that formed the coal shales of Kentucky and Ohio.
Alethopteris is an extinct genus of seed fern that reproduced from seed as opposed to sporophyte reproduction of most modern ferns. Neuropteris is an extinct genus of fern that reproduced from seed as opposed to sporophyte reproduction of most modern ferns. As with most seed ferns, Neurodontopteridaceae grew in tree form.
It comes with an acrylic display stand.
