Probably C.sieberi, but to young.

Yes, I know but I had to try. I went back and checked my mystery fern today - we all agreed it wasn’t Cheilanthes. It was too young to identify. It has died back - no sign of it at all that I could find. I was very disappointed.

Based on the location, likely C.sieberi, certainly Cheilanthes
