Fossil Friday #64: Cyclopteris orbicularis

This is the “Fossil Friday” post #64.  Expect this to be a somewhat regular feature of the website.  We will post any fossil pictures you send in to esconi.info@gmail.com.  Please include a short description or story.  Check the #FossilFriday Twitter hash tag for contributions from around the world!


Today we have a nice Cyclopteris orbicularis from the Mazon River.  This was collected a few years ago during one of the I&M Canal Corridor Fossil Trips.  Cyclopteris is associated with the mid-story seed ferns.  For more information, check out “A Comprehensive Guide to the Fossil Flora of Mazon Creek” or have a look at Mazon Monday #59.
