Haddy Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Nice finds! As a follow-up to the above discussion, I tried several products to seal St. Clair pieces of slate as they are very sooty. The artist's product was pretty good but the granite wax spray didn't really work (although it looked good initially). The product that worked the best is Rust-oleum's Painter's Touch Ultra Cover Matte Clear. I gave some specimens to some people who don't collect fossils, so they wanted clean pieces that weren't going to mess up their living rooms. They're happy with them. I rinsed the specimens briefly by dunking them and then drying them, then quickly spraying them. They dried quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docdutronc Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 arthropod trackway ......an uncommon find ..... I sent a message to Dr. P. Racheboeuf, his response was quick, this imprint could be a track left by a Peripatus (Onychophora), its appendices are round and plump, a predator that is known from the Cambrian, a strange creature that has both characteristics of arthropods and annelids .....

Auspex Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Wonderful fossils, Bruno; the first one (with so much variety) is especially beautiful!

Plantguy Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 Hi you all, lots of great additions/finds in the last few weeks. Roman, cool calamites and those Spirobis worms on that one plate from the other posting/thread. Wow! Haddy, thanks for the update on the preservation techniques. Did you take any photos of those final give aways? Steve, I'll take a Cyclopteris from a spoil heap any day! Bruno, that last plate with the Annularia in the upper right with the other associated ferns from Lievin is really special. Very nice Sphenophyllum!! And arthropod trackways no less..thats super. Great finds all. I was thinking about going on a collecting trip out of state some time to something a little older than this Florida Cenozoic stuff. Its kind of driving me crazy...In the meantime here's a recent small ebay acquisition labeled as Sphenopteris sp. (Eusphenopteris sp.) Upper Carboniferous Westfal B, Gliwice Poland. Best Regards to you all, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I didn't maintain my specialized collecting habits, I'd have given you a run for that one! Congratulations, I'm glad that went to someone I know, who will appreciate it.

docdutronc Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Hi my friends strange structures, animal or plant, I do not know,"small boxes" measure about 4 to 5 mm wide ..... best regards Bruno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docdutronc Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) A reconstruction from three different specimens to show the typical shape of the trunks of ferns Psaronius very flared at the base and bearing adventitious roots adherent to the trunk,the genus Psaronius is assigned to pecopterid ferns, next to a Calamites. Then another example of Psaronius..... best regards Bruno Edited April 18, 2010 by docdutronc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Roman I don't think it is the same genus !!! , there are pecopterids which also have similar surfaces, I think I see the foliage pecopteris on your specimen ..... best regards Bruno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe my mind is playing with me but I think I see "little crescents/diamonds" and I'm leaning towards a bark/plant, but definitely not sure...Are there any Lepidodendrons that size with only very fine leaf scar attachments? Looking forward to what others think... Neat Psaronius/Calamites comparison. thanks! Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
