SO YOU ALWAYS KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING FROM RADIO CRAZE!!!!!!!!
Any one who knows me knows that.
These natural wonders fell into a bog where a low temperature, low pressure, oxygen depleted environment evolved the plant tissue into Pyrite. Pyrophyllite (Aluminum Silicate) replaced the Pyrite at an ensuing stage, creating the bold, white color. Any orange-ish color was caused by the presence of iron ore and is an entirely natural occurrence. This remarkable state of preservation is the anomaly that provide Pennsylvania fern fossils their beautiful complexions.5 1/2" x 4" x 1/2"
Lots of plant species are found in this shale, look closely. Common species include Alethopteris, Neuropteris, Pecopteris, and Sphenophyllum these carboniferous ferns died between 280 and 310 million years ago! One century can seem hard to comprehend and these fossils thrived 3 million times that long ago. Seed ferns of any kind went completely extinct around 73 million years ago, while dinosaurs were still around!
We never paint or touch them up. Nature and time are the artists. This would be a perfect addition to anyone's fossil collection!
