I have some fossil grass-like leaves from a specimen that was associated with other Pennsylvanian fossils collected from near Middlesboro, Kentucky. The specimen is somewhat problematic for display purposes because it has a very nice mesocalamite fossil on the opposite side. The 1st and 2nd images are of the leaflike fossils with a closeup. The white spots are apparently where reactive iron sulfides have been exposed to atmospheric humidity and were oxidized to some type of iron sulfate. The grasslike leaves do not appear to have a strong central vein which might suggest that these are cordaites leaves. The 3rd image is of the very nice mesocalamite fossil on the opposite side. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

How exactly did Lepidodendron split from the main trunk at the top to form the branches? Is It just different species of Lepidodendron that branch differently from the trunk? Reconstructions have Lepidodendron branching like this(circled in yellow) While other reconstructions have it branching in four or five branches like this(circled in yellow)

These fossils that look like blades of grass are actually similar to pine needles.© Copyright (c) 2019 by Michael Tomczyk. All rights reserved.
