I am a retired PhD environmental interface chemist who is also a lifelong fossil enthusiast after growing up in Cincinnati. I have some carboniferous plant fossils for which I would appreciate suggestions from those more knowledgeable than me. Photo1 is from Mazon Creek, IL. The leaves appear to not have a central rib and are arranged in a spray. The leaf in the upper left is interesting. These leaves are nothing like the lepidostrobus ovatifolius in Photo 2 or the lepidodendron "cone" in Photo 3 (both from Kentucky). They also appear to be too big for sigillarius leaves. Is it likely these are cordaites leaves? Photo 4 is a Pennsylvanian fossil from Kentucky that has sphenophylem leaf on the reverse. Is it a lycopod or possibly a cordaites fossil? Photo 5 is of a fossil collected by a coal miner in Pennsylvania; he though it looked like a tire track. It has no leaf scars and there appears to be a slight rectangular tiling on the fossil. Is this possibly inner bark or sigillarius bark? Photo 6 is from the Carboniferous in Oklahoma. It has a high iron content. Photo 7 demonstrates that it apparently grew in layers ~5 mm thick. One opinion suggests that it is lycopod bark. Any other suggestions. Constructive comments would be greatly appreciated. #1 #2 #3 #4 # 5 # 6 #7
