Greetings to everyone! After a long absence, I came back with some interesting fossil material. Location: Western Bulgaria ~30Kms away from Sofia Age: Carboniferous - Westphalian Formation: Svoge I have visited the place one more time with no success, seeking within the banks of a small creek. Maybe my eye was not trained at identifying fossils within black shale and coal, or I was just not looking at the right spot. Last weekend, the weather was really sunny and pleasant, after 2 weeks of rain so I took Sara and hit the road! I stopped at a spot I could

Went to a site in central PA today and collected some Llewelyn formation ferns and other Carboniferous plants. Second opinions on the following are appreciated! 1, I thought this is an Alethopteris but the leaves look like they can also be some immature Neuropteris with compound leaves with the leaves pressed together. 2. Is this Sigillaria bark? 3. Wasn’t sure if this is Lepidodendron bark. These crosshatched stem-looking prints are quite common at the site 4. is this a Calamite print?

Hello to all. This is my collection of flora from the Carboniferous period. This topic will be filled gradually - there is a lot of material. All material originates from the Araukarite Formation of the Gzhel Stage of the Upper Pennsylvania Carboniferous period (303.4 Ma). Unless otherwise specified, it means that the default sample is from this formation. The type of substitution is silicification (sometimes with ferruginization), sometimes with quartz crystals on the surface of the samples. Enjoy watching Part 1. Sample 1. Part of a branch of small diameter with a

5 Mazon Creek specimens that need confirmation or species ID
Mark Kmiecik posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hoping for confirmation and/or species identification. Thanks in advance. Not sure of much anymore with all the recent changes. Annularia inflata? Alethopteris serlii? Calamites cistii? Pecopteris? Crenulopteris? species? Pecopteris? Crenulopteris? species?- 14 replies

I am looking for some help. I have had this piece in a drawer in my collection for years, if not decades, and it never had an ID. It has a Calamites feel to it, but am not sure. There are also 2 small insects on this piece. I am looking for any ids and a possible location and age. it also has a Green River feel, but I am not sure if that can be the case. I really need to get some tag identifiers on some of my fossils that are lacking them. Thanks for any help.

Just finished prepping out this Calamites, found a month ago. It was large and colorful, worthy of posting a picture. It came from Ambridge, Pennsylvania. This is mahoning shale/ Pennsylvanian. I will include a few of the other finds too. A close up showing the details present. Unidentifiable twigs and small branches were common Occasional seed pods were found Fern leaves of multiple species were easy to find. Not the best one found. More of a typical one at this site. The

Hi guys. I'm looking for some more help identifying these Mazon Creek (Illinois) fossils. I think one is some sort of calamites? Thanks for your time.

Many years ago my dad and I visited St. Clair, PA to collect its famed Late Pennsylvanian plant material. With the closure of St. Clair to public collecting, several years ago, we went to the next best place: Centralia, PA. In going back through our finds to ascribe a proper classification to them, I have come across several finds that I believe could either be Calamites stems or Cordaites leaves. The issue is that these fossils preserved without much detail to go on. In doing some research online and on here, I think I have figured it out, but I am not completely sure. Any help is greatly app

A couple of years ago I visited a site in Central Pennsylvania with exposure to the Late Pennsylvanian Llewellyn Formation. I found a lot of Annularia and Calamites pieces. I also found this single whirl. I initially chalked it up as just another piece of Annularia. I recently came across the publication "Fossil Plants From the Anthracite Coal Fields of Eastern Pennsylvania." The publication has been very helpful in assisting me put a species identifications with all of my finds from the various Llewellyn Formation sites I have been to. When I tried to compare this piece to the images of Annul

From the album: Plants of the Lewellyn Formation
Giant horsetail plant Columbia County, Pennsylvania Carboniferous Lewellyn Formation -
From Mattson(Mississippian) or Fantasque formation(Pennsylvanian) just outside of Fort Laird NWT Canada. these were quick snap shots before i had to jump in helicopter from a fire tower on top of a small mountain. i am guessing based of discription it is Calamites cistii? did my own research so could be way off. From what i have read this is one of the only Carboniferous deposits in the entire region.

Hello all Since I can't go to school for a couple of weeks I have time to catch up with some ID's. Most of these plants and pieces of wood have been in my collection for years, thinking it's impossible to ID these because of lack of location. All of these come from old collections without labelling. I know next to nothing about plants or wood. 1: No location at all. Piece is about 10 cm wide. I am not 100% this is actually wood and not just a mineral, but I think these are growth rings. 2: This piece has been in my family for the past 3 generati

Conditions in Western PA have been unusually warm recently, with highs in the 40s and 50s. I decided to take advantage of this warm spell by getting a little bit of fossil hunting in. I decided to do a hunt focused on plants as I’ve been hunting for vertebrates for the better part of the last year and a half and, although I could never get tired of vertebrates I thought some variety was well overdue. So I headed to one of my favorite plant localities in the area. It is located in the Connellsville Sandstone of the Casselman Formation, which is in turn the upper half of the Conemaugh Group. T

Oviposition-Scars On A Calamite Stem From The Westphalian D Of The Piesberg, Germany
paleoflor posted a topic in Member Collections
Dear all, It was difficult, very difficult to wait with posting, since I am very, very excited about this fossil find. However, I also wanted the Dutch magazine version to come out first. Well, it finally did this Tuesday, so here is some info in English, along with a couple of the figures. During a visit to the Piesberg near Osnabrück (Germany) in 2010, I found a stem fragment of Calamites decorated with strange, elongate-oval structures [Fig. 1]. While those features were unusual and quite remarkable, it proved difficult to find information about them and the fossil consequently went into- 25 replies
