I have these finds that I would like some assistance on deciding what they are. Two of them I am unsure that they are even fossils while the third may be a sphenopterid but I am unsure. Thank you all for your help! Carboniferous of Rhode Island. Scale is in cm.

Howdy all, Here's a fossil of a lepidodendron stigmaria (found in association to other lepidodendron material). It was found in a coal seam in Kentucky according to the seller, and I am curious what part of Kentucky this would be from. Nolin Lake sounds likely to me, but I'm unsure.

Hello fellow fossil people! I have this plant that is very unique compared to any others I have found at this site. It is from the Rhode Island formation in North Attleboro. It is about a centimeter long. Some of the pictures are taken at 20x magnification. Any ideas?

Howdy all, This is a lepidodendrale (Lepidodendron?) stigmaria that my Dad found in Knob Noster, Missouri way back when he was in high school. His memory isn't too straight since he found it so long ago and I'm curious what formation this may be from and if it would even be from Missouri.

An Extensive Exposure of the Wamsutta Formation, North Attleboro
Isotelus2883 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
In 2004, the oldest flying fossil insect fossil, a trace in the Wamsutta Formation, was described in Nature. The locality was several hundred feet from where an extensive exposure of the formation was located in a cut. I was planning to try and locate the locality, but due to time issues I went back to this cut, which I had visited once before. Several other localities containing abundant plants and ichnofossils are located in the vicinity. Here is an image of a shaly horizon that was between thick conglomeratic layers. There are three of these major ones, with the lower being darker and being more of a sandstone. The middle shale layer. Most of the finds were from here, although the lower member had some complete Cordaites leaves that I forgot to take back. Here are the finds from the lower section. Occasionally, there were smoother sections of bioturbated mud between the sandy shale, where well defined trails were preserved. Some raindrop prints. Here is a possible arthropod print, that is very badly defined. In these higher energy layers, some fragmentary plants were found. A Cordaites? bit was found, with some clasts of quartz just below. Some small pebbles of quartz. Now, here are the plants from the middle shaly layer. A Cordaites? fragment, with several other pieces. A certain layer within the shaly horizon was full of these pieces, however there was little variety and there was little need to fill my shoeboxes with these. Some specimens, showed what seemed like borings on them. Here is the most distinct example. I found these, also on plant fragments at three separate localities in the North Attleboro area, including one of the Rhode Island Formation. In the talus I found a decent, but either badly preserved or badly exposed fern. Just from the shape, there are quite a few possibilities on what it might be. Hee is a quite well defined tetrapod footprint I found in a bioturbated layer of the section, which split readily into relatively thin and flat slabs, which allowed for an examination for prints. However, there is quite a bit missing on the other side of the split. And last, not a fossil but a geological oddity. It is obviously a clast from one of the conglomeratic horizons, but something is weird about it. Inside, are more pebbles. It is a conglomerate, that has weathered out and become, itself, a clast of the Wamsutta conglomerate! The clasts within this pebble are of a quite different nature than the ones in the Wamsutta. Though the finds are not very spectacular, the conglomerate pebble certainly made up for it.- 10 replies
