Possible Brachyphyllum from East Berlin Formation

[Cianfaglione]

A few finds from last week that may be Brachyphyllum. Comments/corrections would be greatly appreciated. Early Jurassic East Berlin Formation in Connecticut. All fossil pieces, except the the first one, are about the size of a US Quarter.

Nice finds. Pictures 2 and 3 look like brachyphyllum to me. I'm pretty sure about 3 anyway. It looks like some that I found in Connecticut a few years ago. I can't tell what the others are. Plant material of some sort, maybe brachyphyllum bits. Good job finding them!

Thank you Mike for your comments and identification on some of the fossil material! Bits of plant are some of my favorite finds! Thanks again!

Paul, 

Cool finds. 

 

1 - is tip and scale leaves of Brachyphyllum, possibly Brachyphyllum scotti. 

2 - is actually Pagiophyllum sp.

3 -  is Brachypyllum   See HERE.

4 - Some sort of plant material, but unidentifiable to me. 

5 - Could be some sort of root system, or some form of Baiera multifida.

Thank you again Tim! Pagiophyllum is new for me!! In addition to your fish gallery, your Jurassic plants gallery is a favorite of mine! I appreciate your help!

Thanks for the ID's, Tim. We can always count on you. 

As you know, I found my Brachiophyllum the first time we collected together. You even let me take my blindfold off.
