Possible Horsetail Fossil?


Australian Paleontology

Recommended Posts

Recently I found this plant fossil at the Late Triassic aged Blackstone Fm, Queensland, Australia. I think it’s a horsetail but I’m not certain.

I am not seeing any strong ribbing or nodes that would indictate horsetail to me.

This may be an indeterminate each is or branch.
