Help with a Plant

Hi all - anyone have a strong opinion on what this should be labeled as? Is it just clearly Macroneuropteris? It seems longer and doesn't taper in the way I would expect. From the Carb-Permian boundary, Cassville Shale, exposed in Carmichaels, Pennsylvania.

Not M. scheuchzeri because it lacks the defining "hairs". Some specimens of M. macrophylla have pinnules that are relatively longer and more slender than typical. May be a result of environmental conditions.

Thanks Mark, agreed about M. scheuchzeri. Is there another genus it could be? I find myself defaulting with large, elongated leaves to Macroneuropteris. Otherwise M. macrophylla seems reasonable to me
