Today, we have a few Alethopteris serlii from the Field Museum's paleobotany collection. These photos were all taken back in May 2019 during their annual Members' Nights. Alethopteris is one of my favorite genus of Mazon plants. They can be very beautiful, with 3-D preservation. These are absolutely stunning specimens!
If you can make it to a Member Night event, do it! They open up the research spaces and you will meet scientists and see things you don't usually get to see!
