Cianfaglione Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Here are a few recent finds (all plant fragments I believe) from the Early Jurassic East Berlin Formation in Hartford County, Connecticut. Possible plant ID's include Brachyphyllum, Loperia simplex, and Equisetum. Comments, identifications, or corrections are greatly appreciated. Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Nice! It's too bad the preservation isn't a bit better, but still, some nice pieces there. There is a slight possibility that items one and two could be pinnules from Otozamites latior, but I tend to think they are more likely just some stem pieces from some other plant. Item six I haven't seen before, and item seven could be a branch/twig cast, but I can't be positive.

Fossildude19 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Paul, I enjoy seeing what you are finding. Some of the layers have great preservation, and others, not so much. Luck of the draw, I guess. Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
