Middle/late devonian plant Fossils from Norway

[Per Christian]

Hi all!

 

I found this rock with many fairly well preserved plant fossils in it. It's from the Kvamshest-basin in western Norway, deposited about 380 ish Mya. Does anyone here know what kind of plants they are?

It looks much like the the early trimerophytes found in the trout valley formation of northern Maine. Pertica quadrafaria is the state fossil.

The current taxonomy may have changed, but this paper has similar figured specimens.

I completely forgot to reply, sorry.. Thanks so much! I wasn't aware of that one, I've read the ones in Norwegian (my native language), but I'd missed this one in German
