Today's Fossil Friday photo comes from ESCONI member George Witaszek. It's an absolutely gorgeous Neuropteris vermicularis from the Mazon Creek fossil deposit. This one measures about 7 inches and has a good portion of the terminal pinnule. George said he found it opened and couldn't believe what he was seeing. It's a beautiful specimen, certainly one of the most striking fossils found this year. It has great color contrast and a 3-dimensional feel to the individual pinnnules. Thanks for sharing, George!
