A stunning cone bract is up for Fossil Friday this week. This gorgeous specimen comes from ESCONI member Marie Angkuw, who has shared with us on a few previous occasions. The species here is Lepidostrobophyllum lanceolatus. Have a look on page 33 of "A Comprehensive Guide to the Fossil Flora of Mazon Creek" by Jack Wittry.
Thanks for sharing, Marie! That is is a beautiful fossil!
