Svetlana Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) Hello to all. Although I exhibited this sample in the next topic, I think that it is worthy of a separate publication. For all the time of my finds, I came across such a sample for the first time. It is a long branch (about 80 cm) with a large knot in the middle. I had to tinker, extracting it from the red clay. It originates from the Araukarite Formation of the Gzhel Stage of the Upper Pennsylvania Carboniferous period (303.4 Ma). Found in the Donetsk region of Ukraine.

paleoflor Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Cool piece! Must have been quite some work to get that out of the clay... Searching for green in the dark grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right! It was very, very hard to do Very dense red clay did not want to give me my find. In addition, the angle of the branch was almost vertical down. But - I dug it out, although I broke it several times during the extraction process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the quality of the photos leaves much to be desired. I should try to photograph it entirely in one frame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try doing an up close panoramic shot. That way it will be one frame without having to crop the photo. And that is a cool find.
