Fossil plant I


Bonehunter

Recommended Posts

Good morning all!. Finally spring here in Kansas City!. Went out over lunch to a road cut yesterday and found the following smaller "plant" remnants (in three posts). Added my most recent "petrified wood" at the end of this as well- a large, 13lb piece- heavier than the larger one I will place in an album on the forum soon! Need some help (as usual :) ) on these. They are all Pennsylvanian, but they come from three layers, that unfortunately I don't know-new road cut. The first, and most interesting, is the "branch" that has a cobblestone appearance- whether this is the plant or something that was growing on it? Very close, or "on it" are some shell fragments, so I believe it's likely oceanic in origin? On the backside though it is more interesting, as there is a separate fossil with rounded overlapping "flakes" similar to scales or some of the "burrows" that I've seen on the posts- the edge though is linear striations-so any thoughts welcomed!  -maybe just a different crystalline formation even?

And on the backside-these images of something else?
