Another day, another Mazon Creek fossil for the 2024 ESCONI show. This one is a gorgeous Crenulopteris acadica, which was a fern. This one was collected by the Konecnys at the Dresden locality near Morris, IL. That site is now unavailable for collecting. This specimen was collected more than 60 years ago on 08/05/1962.
