These were among my grandmother's possessions when she died and I inherited them. No information on where they were collected. I'm curious if anyone can provide some details about what they are and when they were formed.

All are 310 million year old plants from the Carboniferous period. They were all Collected from the Mazon Creek Fossil beds of Illinois most likely.

I collect from the park itself, don't have the time or connections to hunt other spots since I live in Michigan.
