Plant fossil found in Southeast Ohio's Jackson County, from 4/2/2022 in Sandstone in what I believe is lower Pennsylvanian

Very neat fossil example!

Trying to see if those are rootlet scars (as opposed to leaflet scars) that are visible in your specimen...which would probably make this a rooting structure.  so I'm thinking probably Stigmaria.  do you have any closeups of these areas? 

 

Here's a closeup of a Stigmaria specimen from Virginia that I have showing the individual circular rootlet scars/pits and the overall wavy/sinuous/spiral elliptical channels/nature. 

Quite a specimen!
