Ludwigia Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I'm just overwhelmed at the abundance of mineralized and well-preserved wood which you are showing us. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger, thank you. Will add few new species today; may be, you will be able to help me identify it Edited January 12, 2022 by Svetlana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauli W. Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Thank you for your wonderful and time-consuming work! Tell me (maybe I didn't read the branch carefully), do you have wood with traces of woodworms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me (maybe I didn't read the branch carefully), do you have wood with traces of woodworms? Hello. I have only two fragments of Carboniferous wood, eaten by molluscs - super rare finds for our Carboniferous; and have mucch more Paleogene wood, eaten by Teredo. By the way, this sample is quite similar to a modern tree eaten by carpenters during their lifetime. I wonder how to distinguish damage to a tree made by a land borer from damage caused by a Teredo mollusk? Carboniferous, 303,4 mln years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svetlana Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 An interesting fragment of a petrified wood of the Paleogene period, replaced by opal, in which black dots are visible - insect coprolites, was turned by me into a sphere. Unfortunately, there were no more similar samples of wood with coprolites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
