Today, we have multiple Mariopteris nervosa seed fern fossils from Ralph Jewell.  These are stunning specimens.  Mariopteris are fairly rare and usually preserved in 3-D.  Ralph recently purchased an amazing collection.  He has been documenting it over on the Fossil Forum.  Check out his long running and interesting thread.

Thanks for sharing, Ralph!
