Pair of Fossils in Shadow Boxes – Pecopteris & Fish

A fascinating pair of fossils presented in shadow box frames, featuring a Pecopteris plant fossil and a fish fossil. The Pecopteris, an extinct genus of ferns commonly found in Carboniferous-age rock formations, displays beautifully detailed fronds, offering a glimpse into prehistoric plant life. The fish fossil showcases well-preserved skeletal and scale details, providing insight into ancient aquatic ecosystems. Both specimens are housed in complementary shadow boxes with foam backing for secure display, making them ideal for collectors, educational purposes, or unique decor.

Condition:
Good condition overall. The fish fossil is broken but remains intact within the display. The frames show minor wear consistent with age.

Dimensions:

  • Overall size (each shadow box): 8" x 6" x 2" (20 x 15 x 5 cm)
  • Fish fossil: 4" x 4" (10 x 10 cm)
  • Pecopteris fossil: 2.25" x 3.5" (5.7 x 8.9 cm)
