Fossil Friday #290: Cyclopteris orbicularis

This is the “Fossil Friday” post #290.  Expect this to be a regular feature of the website.  We will post 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!


We have a beautiful Cyclopteris orbicularis from Knob Noster for today’s Fossil Friday. Cyclopteris are associated with the seed ferns  LaveineopterisNeuropterisReticulopterisOdontopteris, and  Macroneuropteris. For more information about Cyclopteris orbicularis, see Mazon Monday #59.

This gorgeous fossil comes from Chuck Barlow, who has sent us some amazing fossils in the past (Fossil Friday #84 and Fossil Friday #232).

Thanks for sharing, Chuck! We are hoping to see you at an upcoming MAPS show!
