Plants from the Paleocene Age
These leaf fossils are of the Cenozoic Era-
Tertiary Period in time which would date it close to 58 million years old (early
Paleocene Epoch). At that time, this northern region Tertiary Woodlands was a
swampy lowland with a subtropical to tropical climate similar to the areas of
South Florida today.
The formation it was found in today consists
of silt, sandstone, clay , mudstone and lignite in ancient river, lake and swamp
sediments. Remains of plants are not commonly preserved because they rapidly
decay after they die. Those under water are preserved when rapidly covered with
sediment. |

Fossil Ferns from St. Clair Pennsylvania
These fern fossils are very common from coal mining areas around the world.
However it is the unique state of preservation of the White on the Black Shale
that give the St.Clair ferns their beauty and rarity ! Sometimes you will see
the white has turned to a Rust color. No where else in the world does a
combination like these ferns is found..
( These ferns are
not painted on the rock they are all natural.)
A full explanation of how these ferns were fossilized will be included with your
