sigint_devildog Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I’m looking for help identifying this find. It is a creek find from Van Buren county in Iowa. Every fossil I’ve ever found in Iowa is aquatic (corals, crinoid, brachiopods, etc), but this doesn’t look like anything I’ve ever found. It looks like fossils I’ve seen in collections of lycopodium bark. There’s even what appears to be a stem-like core in the “center”. Any help in identification would be much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 This looks like Stigmaria sp. , the root of lycopsid trees.

FossilDAWG Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I agree with Stigmaria. I have found Pennsylvanian lycopod pieces in marine deposits in New Mexico. Think of driftwood becoming water saturated and settling to the sea floor. Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
