piranha Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Cylostrobus sydneyensis is a possibility. I sent the photo to an Australian paleobotany specialist for any additional info. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranha Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 The specialist concurs with additional details on this specimen: "Yes, this is a cone of Cylostrobus sydneyensis, which seems to have rotted and opened from the axis in an annual fashion." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvadro Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 Ah, an opened cone! Thanks @piranha and your friend! Yes, this site and this area has plenty of these lycopods. I found before and posted here these cones, but smaller and not ripe ones. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
