For this week, we have a large Cyclopteris orbicularis from the Mazon Creek fossil biota. It was sent our way by Ralph Jewell, who found it this summer at the Pit 3 fossil locality. This is a beautiful, well preserved specimen. It's rare to find one this large and intact. For more information, see Mazon Monday #59.
Thanks for the stunning contribution, Ralph! This is definitely one of the finds of the year!
