Roman... Its a really great blog and very nice to see some of your finds together and really nice to see all your collecting sites and country... fabulous... The view of the 4 coal heaps is my favourate photo, I love it... We have one similar heap (very steep sided) in Somerset England and when I get chance sometime in the future when I'm living there I will photograph it to show you...

Thanks Steve

Thank you Steve, it would be great to look at Somerset heap with your new (future) finds Roman

Roman... Theres a couple of good spots to hunt plant down there when I get the chance ;o)

It's a great blog you did Roman! i really like your lanscape pictures and ,of course,your fossils!

Thanks Gery!

Outstanding blog entry, Roman! These fossils would attract people not interested in plant fossils! Thank you for sharing them.

Thank you John, this morning the patriotic fillings have overloaded myself

Great thanks, Roman! I enjoyed a lot! It's interesting, what kind of rock is it - mixture of coal with sands/clays? What does remain after it burns out? (And how does it look, when such mountain is burning?)

Nice finds and sites Roman, are plant fossils all you've found from these locations?

Hi Roman, that map with locations and finds are fantastic. I knew you had a number of sites to visit around Donetsk but oh my gosh I didnt realize so many...looks like over a hundred....that must be really convenient. I remember being in California years ago collecting Cenozoic and Mesozoic material and I'd go out to my favorite hill weekly just a short drive to all kinds of other different sites as well.... I miss that alot!! Keep up the great work..its nice to see what you are finding...looks like you really love this hobby! Regards, Chris

Hi Chris, thank you! That map is a mine heap locations, 157 ones in total at Donetsk City inside. There is no fossil at each of them, but main sites I described in the blog. That hobby brings me the discovery filling I missed with my age... Some time ago I travelled all over the world included Arctic Basin and Antarctic pack ice...
