jeannie55 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Very nice finds. I hope I can make one last trip to the shale dump before the year ends. Now that the snakes are hibernating and the hornets hiding from the cold, hunting would be safe. I have to keep eyes out for the hunters too. Sadly, they are all related to me. The dump is on family owned land. My daughter takes me and she says watch out for your brother. He hunts while drinking. Stay safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deutscheben Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Another great selection of finds! There are too many good ones to even mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantguy Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Gery awesome finds as usual! That mixed plate is wonderful! So the pinkish/green coloration struck me on the cone plate and the knobby/raised/bumps that almost looks a bit segmented just above where your chisel mark is...anything interesting going on there--did you happen to notice? Just unidentifiable plant debris? Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Great report and lovely finds, Gery! Thanks for posting them!

Monica Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I, too, love the cones. And this Neuropteris plate looks interesting because the terminal leaflets (?) look quite elongated: Is that how they usually look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plantguy Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Hey Gery, thanks for the additional photos. I cant make out what's going on there...maybe its just another poorly preserved cone or some other debris that my brain is trying to turn into something identifiable. The dissimilar coloration and uneven textures sure makes me wonder. Those extra finds/photos are very nice as well! Regards, Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
