Rare & Perfect 6.5" Petrified Oregon TEMPSKYA TREE FERN Round - My Best Tempskya!

This is one of the cleanest, prettiest and best preserved gem grade Tempskya fern fossils we've cut in the shop in ages! This is a rare and highly prized fossil treasure found near the mining dumps of the Sumpter gold rush in the Elkhorn Mountains of NE Oregon. It looks like petrified wood, but it's not actually wood in a technical sense. It comes from a Tempskya fern which is a type of Tree Fern. I've actually seen very little in print about this rare material, but it is featured in Dernbach's Petrified Forests book (and this specimen rivals the one in his famous and beautiful text!). Look at the fine detail that has been preserved in this amazing plant fossil in the micro-photo shown here. I've rarely been able to offer one of these specimens for sale on eBay and I doubt that my small supply will last long so don't let this exquisite complete round get away! It will surely be a unique addition to any high end petrified wood and fossil collection. This wood is highly agatized and
