7" Pennsylvanian Plant Plate (Calamites And Neuropteris) - Kentucky

This is a 7.0" fossil plant plate, from the Breathitt Formation, Leslie County, Kentucky. It contains horsetail (Calamites) stalk sections and seed fern (Neuropteris) leaflets. It comes from the Late Carboniferous, Pennsylvanian aged forests that formed the coal shales of Kentucky and Ohio.

Neuropteris are genera of seed ferns, extinct species of fern that reproduced from seed as opposed to sporophyte reproduction of most modern ferns.

Calamites and its form genus Anularia (refers to the leaves or whorl) are a jointed-stemmed plant, closely related to modern horsetails.

It comes with an acrylic display stand.
