This plate features a beautifully preserved prehistoric fossil fern in an unusual golden-brown color on dark grey slate background. The fern genus, Neuropteris, is now extinct and is 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.
Sold in a glass-topped collectors' Riker case with a certificate of authenticity.
