☆ 3 Inch - MAZON CREEK SPHENOPHYLLUM & NEUROPTERIS Fern Fossil ☆ Great detail ☆

Description

Specimen:
SPHENOPHYLLUM
Locality: MAZON CREEK, Illinois USA
Sphenophyllales are small, slender branching plants, usually growing to a height of less than 1 m (3.3 ft) tall.
The long stems range from 0.5 cm (0.20 in) to 1.2 cm (0.47 in) in diameter. The stems are jointed and ribbed with weak habits,
making it probable that these plants were vine
or shrub-like when alive, and formed a portion of the understory in Carboniferous forests.
The leaves, which can be several centimeters long, are borne on each node in whorls (called verticels) and are wedge-shaped, fan-shaped, linear, or forked.
This is a wonderful 2 Piece Fossil with both Positive and Negative halves
Photographed on a 1 INCH Scale board to show relative size - This is the fossil you will receive.
