For this week, we have a large Cyclopteris orbicularis from the Mazon Creek fossil biota.  It was sent our way by Ralph Jewell, who found it this summer at the Pit 3 fossil locality.  This is a beautiful, well preserved specimen.  It’s rare to find one this large and intact.  For more information, see Mazon Monday #59.

Thanks for the stunning contribution, Ralph!  This is definitely one of the finds of the year!
