Neuropteris was a genus of seed fern that existed during the Carboniferous period some 300 to 200 million years ago. Neuropteris fossils are important for understanding the early evolution of seed plants. They show features such as megasporangia and developing integuments, which are the precursors to the development of actual seeds.
