Fossil Fern Frond Illustration - Paleobotanical Specimen Diagram #118838 (License: Personal Use)

This high-contrast black-and-white illustration depicts a well-preserved fossil fern frond, likely from the Carboniferous period, with clearly rendered pinnules arranged alternately along a curved rachis. Fine hatching indicates venation patterns and tissue preservation, typical of compression fossils in sedimentary rock. The image reflects 19th- or early 20th-century botanical illustration techniques used in taxonomic studies.

Used in academic articles, museum exhibits, and educational resources on plant evolution, paleobotany, and fossil identification; serves users seeking visual references for ancient flora or comparative morphology.
