This week’s Fossil Friday features a fiddlehead — the coiled frond of a young fern. This specimen comes from a seed fern, most likely Neuropteris. At Mazon Creek, fiddleheads are assigned to the species Spiropteris sp. (see Mazon Monday #207).

This breathtaking specimen comes from Jeremy Zimmerman. Thanks for sharing, Jeremy!
