Is this a staghorn fern?

Hello!

Today at the grocery store I picked up the most interesting plant. I just assumed it was a staghorn or elkhorn fern, but now that I've been trying to research them on the web, I'm not so sure. It's definitely an epiphytic fern with those flat, sterile type leaves at the base. The fertile type leaves are shaped just like that of your typical staghorn but the texture of them seems different. The leaves are hard and cardboard-like and covered in fine fuzz like certain cyads (like Zamia furfuracea-- Cardboard Palm). Does anyone know exactly what type of fern this might be? Sorry I can't provide a photo!
