On April 15th, 2023, ESCONI held a field trip to a coal mine spoil pile near Danville, IL. Everyone found something, and there were numerous nice fossil specimens. Caroline Davis found not one, but two seed fossils. One was a well preserved Trigonocarpus sp. (Mazon Monday #67), while the other was unidentified. Jack Wittry has a description of Trigonocarpus on pages 233 - 235 in "A Comprehensive Guide to the Fossil Flora of Mazon Creek".
Thanks for sharing your beautiful specimens, Caroline!
