Lycopod I think but not sure

Hi,

 

I found this in Pensylvannian glacial till around a reservoir.  It’s about 12” long by 5” in diameter.  There are coal seams nearby.  I think it’s a lycopod part of some kind but it doesn’t match most of the pics I’ve seen.  Can anyone tell me more?  I’m curious about the layered appearance.

 

I don’t think it was in its original location as it was stacked on a big rock with other specimens.

 

I left it in place due to regulations.  Would have liked to keep it!

 

Thanks!

I agree that this is probably a lycopsid.  Maybe Bothrodendron.
