British Coal Measures

[t-tree]

 It's been a while since my last post on here as I don't get out as much now and when I do is only locally for a short time. These 2 finds are from the spoil of a long closed pit in the Derbyshire Coal Measures UK.

 

Asterophyllites shoots.

 

 

 

Calamostachys

 

 

 

A lot of digging for two small finds but I enjoyed the hunt !

 

Cheers John

The Carboniferous plant material I have seen in concretions from British coal mines are spectacular. Nice finds!

Hi Mike, I'm sure this site has some great fossils hidden in it and i will keep digging my holes looking for them.

These are very cool, I've seen some Mazon Creek like concretions from the UK in the past but they keep to amaze me every time.

Thanks for posting, it is always a delight to see your Carboniferous finds from across the pond.

I bought The Mazon Creek Fauna and Flora books by Jack Wittry to compare my UK finds,
