Carboniferous trip

Some photos in situ from my last trip into a coal mine in NW Spain.

 

Carboniferous fossils like Calamites, Aphlebias, Sigillarias, Ferns, an ultra complete cordaites...

Nice finds. 

Some of those Calamites sections are pretty impressive.

@Tidgy's Dadthanks, I found some bigger and better ones, I will put maybe some photos in the next days

Wow, that is a huge Aphlebia. Stunning.

[Yoda]

Fantastic 

Where you able to extract many without cracking them ?

[Ludwigia]

Excellent preservation!! You are a lucky duck!

[oscarinelpiedras]

@YodaI haven't extracted some of them yet, but they usually break into 2-3-4 parts, but they are so easy to glue! And the result is awesome.

Very nice! A Carboniferous plant fossil hunt is on my list for next year’s hunting season. This makes me want to move it or the top of the list. Thanks for sharing!

@FossilNerdit is very entertaining! And if there is a lot more, I recommend it. Good luck!

What a beautiful preserve! The photos are already enjoying, let alone on the spot.
