AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An exceptionally attractive Pecopteris fossil fern frond, beautifully preserved on a warm, ochre-coloured sedimentary matrix and presented in an elegant custom frame measuring approximately 43 × 35 cm.
The specimen displays a large and well-developed fern frond, with a clearly visible central rachis and numerous finely arranged pinnules extending from both sides.
The regular arrangement of the foliage gives the fossil a particularly elegant and balanced appearance.
The dark fossilised plant contrasts beautifully with the natural golden-brown matrix, creating a striking visual effect.
The combination of the large frond, natural matrix and elegant framing gives the specimen a strong botanical and decorative character, while preserving its palaeontological appeal.
Condition and restoration: approximately 5–7% of the visible plant has been retouched/repainted, corresponding to areas where fossil material is missing. These limited additions were made solely to restore the visual continuity and overall aesthetic balance of the composition.
They do not replace the original fossil material, and the vast majority of the specimen remains original and naturally preserved. The restored areas are disclosed here for complete transparency.
Pecopteris is a form-genus traditionally used for fossil fern-like foliage and is characteristic of ancient Carboniferous plant communities. These plants were part of the luxuriant vegetation that covered vast swamp environments approximately 300 million years ago.
Professionally presented in a 43 × 35 cm decorative frame, this specimen is ready to be displayed immediately.
A beautiful piece for collectors of Carboniferous flora, as well as for anyone looking for an unusual natural-history statement piece for a home, villa, study, library or office.

Seller's Story
I, Don, started fossil hunting in 1987, going from a passionate collector to a professional preparator and researcher. In all these years I have traveled searching for fossils in many parts of the world.
Our fossils are present in private collections in the United States, Singapore, Taiwan, as well as in prestigious museums in the Uk, China and Japan.
Quality in the preparation of the material and seriousness in managing the shipment in the best possible way distinguish us.
