Terry Dactyll Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) Roman... Thanks for your observations... and your specimen looks very similar to the above, just not quite as 'nobbly'... .. I thought it was unusual... I have just completed another drawer of upper carboniferous material which I have collected from the roof shales above 5 different coalseams in 3 different areas within the same temporary exposure... Some of the fossils I normally wouldnt keep but as it was so sparsely populated I decided to keep a small representative sample to give to some museum in the future... I'm getting a bit sick of shark eggcases .... Edited May 10, 2011 by Terry Dactyll Cheers Steve... And Welcome if your a New Member... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docdutronc Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) Nice finds Bruno and Steve. That is my last one. This branch (first and second pic) was inside the specimen which looks like the Ompholophloios bark (third pic) Could somebody explain me whether it is Ompholophloios or not? Reconstruction of the Ompholophloios (from Bruno's website) Hi Roman Here is a Omphalophloios bark from Liévin ,your specimen is like an Lepidophloios ...

docdutronc Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) Hi my friends The last specimen collected on the heap this morning ..... "An essential feature of Cordaitacées, is to have a marrow to Originally this was called Sternbergia (Artis) 1825 become Artisia (Sternberg) 1831. This marrow is often presented in prismatic body shape more or less regular, the surface is divided by many transverse furrows, more or less close depending on the species, sometimes forming diaphragms anastomosing them. medullary organization was compared to that observed in plants today, which botanists generally agree that such an organization implies growth trunks as fast in tropical plants: thus the Tropical “Seneçons “ have a marrow compartmentalized, forming also a water tank " .....

Terry Dactyll Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Bruno... Nice finds as usual... The unknown axis is a weird one I have never seen anything that resembles that... It almost reminds me of 'basal' lepidodendron where perhaps the fracture or separation has some elements of decortication to produce the inconsistent surface of concave and convex leaf scars... Obviously being a small stem this is doubtful... definately one for the experts I reckon... Nice find... ''Lepidodendron brunoensis'' Cheers Steve... And Welcome if your a New Member...

Rockin' Ric Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) Seeds from Carboniferous Alabama Bruno and Steve, really nice seed specimens! Since you are posting Carboniferous seed specimens from your countries, I thought I would post what have been found in Alabama. Nice, really nice guys. Thanks for the education on plant fossils, I've learned alot being on the forum! Edited May 22, 2011 by Rockin' Ric WELCOME TO ALL THE NEW MEMBERS!

docdutronc Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) Hi my friends Another variation on genus Asolanus bark , how to explain this change in ornamental bark, I think the depth of the decortication is excluded, the tissues appear similar, it probably due to the presence of sporophylls on the outer bark which must change the shape of leaf scars on one stem and cause these variations ..... from Bolsovian Lievin area..... Steve thank you for your humor, your comments, your seeds stored in nodules are superb, I particulary liked Gnetopsis Rockin'Ric your seeds are quite similar to mine, the nature of rocks seems to be the sandstone....??

Terry Dactyll Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Rockin' Ric...Really nice to see your specimens and your very lucky to, yours pop open without smashing through the seed like Bruno's. The lower one is very interesting in that it has some form of extension to it on the right hand side going into the rock in a pointed shape. Maybe this is where it attached to the plant... Thanks for sharing them... Bruno... Excellent find and thanks for your thoughts on that specimen. Like Ric, I never stop learning from your posts. I sent a message to Planguy 'Chris' who started this carboniferous plant thread asking how he was... I havent seen him post for a while so I just checked he was ok... He says he is tied up with ''work and life stuff'' at the moment... and hopes to get back posting sometime soon... he sends his best regards to everyone... Cheers Steve...
