Yes, time to kick off the previews for the 2024 ESCONI Gem, Mineral, and Fossil Show. We have a bunch to get through and the show is coming up fast!
This is a sweet Mariopteris decipiens from Mazon Creek (see Mazon Monday #108) This specimen was collected back in 1968 at a locality (Greer School, now Cinder Ridge Golf Course) that no longer exists for collecting... Come on out and it may be yours!
