In a previous post I spoke about sigillariostrobus scars ...I found another one sample .....

This sigillaria trunks ,sigillaria mamillaris ,external bark and counterpart,shows a crown of scars, these scars are the insertions of breeding strobus (sigillariostrobus) , positioned in the upper part of the tree...

Bruno,

I'm a little confused, you are are saying the rough patch on the trunks are where the fruiting bodies were attached?

Thanks,

dave

Hi Shamalana

yes very precisely this part of the tree! the first plate is a drawing of Professor LAVEINE Jean Pierre, the second drawing is a personal reconstruction

Interesting how they "squeeze" the normal bark scales out of the way. The part and counterpart is the best at illustrating that. Thanks!

Bruno, you put the 'reproductive' scars just between the leaf scar columns on your reconstruction picture, but it's not so obvious from your specimens (pic. 3) from first post. Why did you consider so when made a reconsruction?

Could you explain what are the small holes among the scars?

Hi Roman

I imagined my reconstruction using as example Sigillaria tessellata whose "reproductive" scars are between columns of leaf scars, it is also the case for sigillaria with large ribs : S. laevigata, S.boblayi ,for the other species S. mamillaris, S. davreuxi, the scars are positioned very anarchic and deform the adjacent leaf scars...

" Could you explain what are the small holes among the scars?"

probably trace the veins traveling to strobus ....

best regards

More outstanding specimens.

Bruno, do you mind of I save some pictures of your specimens to help me with naming my own specimens?

Thank you Bruno, I like your reconstructions and really envy you (white envy of cause :)) - such impressive preservation of the bark!

Bruno,

I want to tell you that I don't reply very often after your posts, but I read with a lot of attention all your texts. You are a specialist, and even if I am not interested in wood, I like posts about that.

Thanks for sharing, for you and others.

Coco
