Calamites reconstruction
This week, we have a sweet little Mazon Creek Annularia sphenophylloides. This little beauty comes from ESCONI member Ralph Jewell. Ralph has a new thread over on The Fossil Forum that will make you drool if you love Mazon Creek fossils. This thread is full of fossils from a collection he recently purchased from an old-time collector. Check it out when you get a chance!
A. sphenophylloides is a smaller species of Annularia and quite often they are preserved in 3-D. This one does not disappoint. Thanks for sharing this stunning specimen!
