Plax Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 was hoping someone more knowledgeable than I would reply to this.... It looks like stigmaria (roots) on or in a slab of mudcracks. Take this with many grains of salt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

araucaria1959 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 It is of course an interesting specimen. But there are two problems. First, the picture is quite small. It would help to have a closer view at it, or some pics of small regions of the bark. However, I know that's probably impossible since you don't have that specimen at home. Otherwise, I would have already requested some "new pics". It would be very important to see details of the bark. And what is the size of this specimen? (I'm absent now for about 4 days and can't follow this thread). araucaria1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckmerlin Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 CKMerlin... Is it a bark?... Have you found out....

ckmerlin Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 sorry mate yes heres what bruno explained in his reply Hi my friend increase in trunk circumference produces the separation strips leaf-cushions. This bark comes probably lower regions of the trunk where the bark is marqued by large vertical furrows ,look this reconstruction ,your sample is localized in the first inferior 1/3 of the trunk ....

RomanK Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Hi all this is not mine unfortunately its from a display at a carboniferous forest site in my local area it has a museum there it is labeled as unidentified tree bark from carboniferous thought id ask here I have not had a chance to consult my reference material sorry for being lazy doing overtime so short of time ( I know poor excuse ) anyway any help appreciated thanks I have such kind of puzzle as well! I agree with Bruno it might be basal part of the stem, main question why the leaf cushions are so small at the bottom of the trunk?...
