Asterophyllites fossils

Asterophyllites fossils

Unusual little pieces, these are fossils of a plant called Asterophyllites, which typically come in a positive/negative nodule where someone has split a rock expecting it to contain a fossil.

Our current stock:

• #1 - Positive and negative nodule measuring 51x43x32MM. This specimen comes from the Upper Carboniferous of Northern England, from open cast mines near Wigan.
• #2 - A single half, not a nodule. This piece has been repaired, too. 64x50x17.5MM with plenty of leaves.
• #3 - A single half, not a nodule. 69x49.5x12MM with a faint impression of leaves.
