This plate features two species of beautifully preserved prehistoric fossil ferns in an unusual golden-brown color on dark grey slate background. Both fern genera, Neuropteris and Cyclopteris, are now extinct and known only from fossils. The detail is exquisite - it's possible to distinguish the individual veins on the fern fronds! An excellent collectors' item as well as a beautiful decor piece.
Comes with certificate of authenticity and information card.
