This week's Fossil Friday is again Annularia. The difference is this one is from Vigo County, Indiana. The Carboniferous fossils from Indiana are thought to be a few million years younger than Mazon Creek, which dates to about 307 million years ago. The species in Indiana may be different than Mazon Creek, but this looks quite similar to Annularia sphenophylloides. We covered Annularia inflata in back in Mazon Monday #60.
