Yes, time for yet another preview for the 2023 ESCONI Gem, Mineral, and Fossil Show. We have a bunch to get through and the show is coming up fast!
This specimen is a beautiful branch of Macroneuropteris scheuchzeri. It includes multiple pinnules with the associated orbicular pinnules. It was collected in Morris (maybe the Dresden area) back in 1970 by long time members, who donated part of their collection to ESCONI a few years ago. For more information have a look at Mazon Monday #39.
