Fossil Friday #282: Crossotheca sagittata

This is the “Fossil Friday” post #282.  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 Bluesky/Twitter hash tag for contributions from around the world!


Today, we have a very nice Crossotheca sagittata. C. sagittata is the fertile form of Pecopteris fontainai (see Mazon Monday #129). See the drawings below from George’s Basement. The photo shows a specimen with both forms.

This beautiful specimen was sent in by Connor Puritz. He collected it earlier this year from the Mazon River. Thanks for sharing, Connor!
