Shamalama Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Great finds Gery. Your Carboniferous is full of wonderful preservation and variety. I see some tree bark in your pics too. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darktooth Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I really enjoy seeing these plant fossils. The color on the one piece is amazing. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deutscheben Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Lovely plants! I can definitely see why your bag was so heavy- those are some nice large pieces. Most of what I can find for Carboniferous plants in my area have been crushed for use in road beds and consequently are usually fist-sized or smaller.
