Plant, fern?

[Ruger9a]

Is there a way to identify this plant?  Looks like plant leaves, but I am unsure of the species.  Does anyone know?

[Rockwood]

The larger elements appear to be cordiates.

[Ruger9a]

Thanks Rockwood.  As always, I very much appreciate your input/knowledge.  Here are a few other photos.

The diverging pattern in the veins is an indication for the cordiates ID.

I can't read the vein pattern in the ferns, but my sense is that they are likely pteridosperms.

I think Pecopteris sp. but not positive the midvein goes to the ends of the pinnules.

I was just going to request a zoom in to see the pics as I couldn't see anymore detail either.

[Ruger9a]

I will send a zoom in shortly.  What specific area are you interested in?

The area in the yellow box, please.

 

[Ruger9a]

Sorry guys.  Went to get the closeup you requested and noticed I only have 1/2 of the fossil (to the right of your box).  I don't remember what happened to it.  Still looking for the rest of it and an explanation as to why there is only half.  Very disappointing.

[Rockwood]

Hate it when that happens.

Found another piece and my notes.  It arrived in many, many pieces.  I repaired what I could, but a large portion (lower left) of it couldn't be salvaged.  I can't locate the area where this piece belongs, so I'm guessing many of the cover pieces came off.  I can post the photos if you think it will help.

[Rockwood]

It's quite possible that there are multiple fern taxa on a single plate so anything that might show evidence should fly. 

[Ruger9a]

Rockwood, here are photos of the smaller piece.  Hope it helps.

Wow, I did find some more of the pieces.  Here they are.

A few more.

These with slightly larger pinules I think look more like pteridosperms, neuropteris being the example shown. The narrower fronds may be true ferns like pecopteris.

I see what may be Mariopteris and also some Alethopteris in addition, judging by overall shape, but would need some really close up and well-focused photos to be sure. I think it's safe to say you have some very nice floor tile (think hash plate) there.

[Ruger9a]

I will "try" to take some better focused, close up photos.  Any specific pieces?  On the good side, I'm happy with a hash plate containing some Mariopteris and some Alethopteris.

Guys, I'm sorry.  I tried but the photos don't look much different.  I guess my age is catching up, so I will have someone else take them.  Thanks for your continued interest in this topic.
