Looking for Fossil Flora of the late Cretaceous/Early Tertiary...
MetasequoiaOccidentalis posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hi All, I'm looking for good locations and formations of Fossil members of Cupressaceae and Araucariaceae, and any other conifer species that might apply, in the Western and Southwest United States. Any other known localities of good exposures of fossil flora in the US would be appreciated. I've visited John Day and the Chuckanut Formation, as well, so I'm already aware of those. Anybody know anything about LA Porte, California or Ione, California for fossil plants? Thanks in advance. -

Here are a couple of small nodules that I photographed last weekend.Even after observing the photos I’m still stumped.They were found near Terre Haute Indiana.They were collected from the Busseron Sandstone Member of the Shelburn Formation, in shales above the coal seams of the Dugger Formation and are dated from the Middle Pennsylvanian, which correlates with the Westphalian D. The first one looks a little sphenophyllumish. The second may be an isolated sporangium from a cone bract,a seed or maybe just a pyrite deposit Just thought I’d let the collective brain of the Fossil Forum have a look.Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I'm wrapping up the finishing touches on my Mazon Creek cabinet. I made custom lexan shelves. Wrapped the backer with basket weave vinyl. And mounted rope lighting around it. One problem is the plastic doors. They're shot and i need to replace them with good ol' fashioned glass. I also made all of the custom mounts for my collection. I tried to utilize as much space as possible, so i made the mounts all different sizes. All of the mounts are cut lexan. I still have to make a few more, but 99% are done. And if i ever have the luxury of finding better examples of the specimens i have now, i can just keep cycling them into my main large display case. These are just my best finds to date. Flora side. Mainly pit 2. Fauna side. Mainly pit 11. Let me know if you have any questions on who, what, where and how. Thanks for lookin'
