A stunning cone bract is up for Fossil Friday this week.  This gorgeous specimen comes from ESCONI member Marie Angkuw, who has shared with us on a few previous occasions.  The species here is Lepidostrobophyllum lanceolatus.  Have a look on page 33 of “A Comprehensive Guide to the Fossil Flora of Mazon Creek” by Jack Wittry. 

Thanks for sharing, Marie!  That is is a beautiful fossil!
