Hello Ya'll, here is an entry of a fossil presentation I put together. Several years ago I got me a matt cutter and thought I'd put it to use along with some of my creative ability and fossil interests. On this piece of art I drew the Calamite using graphite and colored pencil and placed one of my Calamite fossil finds beside the picture. I found that colored pencils aren't sharp enough to create the intricate detail in most plant fossils I have but I did the best I could on this piece, I also used pics of the modern horsetail as reference. Right now, I'm in the process of trying to create fossil plants from the fossil finds I have in my collection. The computer allows me to be more detailed so hopefully I can show you guys what I come up with soon.

Happy New Year Ya'll as we say down here in the deep Carboniferous South! Went fossil collecting for the first time in 8 months on the first day of the new year. Found a new site where Carboniferous plant fossils were everywhere! Found some really nice 3D casts, 2D images, one brachiopod, several too heavy to carry out and difficult to chisel loose! Enjoy the pics. Huge Coal seam under the overhang. Weird Coal seam in the middle of the rock. What is it? Tree trunk or weird rock formation? Lepidodendron. Lepidodendron. Lepidodendron. 3D, decorticated cast with 2D images of plant debris.
