Devonian plant from Madison Co., NY.

Windom Shale
Moscow Formation
Hamilton Group
Deep Springs Road quarry
Lebanon, NY.
collected 6/22/15
Terrestrial plant remains (usually poorly preserved) are fairly common at this and other Middle Devonian marine sites in Madison County, NY. The low lying Catskill Delta was located just to the east which included the famed Gilboa forest. It isn't hard to imagine these plant remains being carried out to sea and deposited along with the remains of marine creatures.
