RomanK Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 (edited) RomanK..... Very nice examples.....Heres a couple of mine..... Sigillaria Trunk & Lepidodendron Trunk Calamites? & Paripteris cf gigantea Thanks Steve, I really like your 3d stems and big fern plate. Very nice examples. One day I found this big stem but even not tried to take it. Edited July 4, 2010 by RomanK Roman http://s1143.photobu.../donbassfossil/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Sigillaria chunk, unfortunately the specimen got destroyed (It was carelessly thrown by a family member and snapped into many pieces). It was about 19 inches long and 6 wide. My biggest Calamites section to date, also my nicest. My biggest fern to date. Still unsure of an ID but I think I have it narrowed down (without specifics) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Dactyll Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 RomanK..... You could roll it into a wheelbarrow whilst it is tipped on its side and use the wheelbarrow handle and side to lever it upright.... I was lucky in that one of the machine drivers at the quarry would help me get them with a digger after I found them and then I simply rolled them out of the bucket into my car.... and down a plank at home..... Heres a couple I couldnt collect as they were 'Too Big' ....Sigilaria, Lepidodendron & Stigmaria..... Cheers Steve... And Welcome if your a New Member...

Heres a couple I couldnt collect as they were 'Too Big' ....Sigilaria, Lepidodendron & Stigmaria..... Yes Steve, you're right but too many efforts for so bad preservated stem. I like your pictures with fossils in situ, they are great. Stigmaria (3d) with visible rootlets (not so long but qiute thick).

RomanK Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 This big Sigillaria bark example I found this spring, too heavy to take it home. Roman http://s1143.photobu.../donbassfossil/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Very good specimens Nicholas, especially Calamites stem pith cast (possibly C. approximatus) That's what I have it labeled as actually. A local fossil expert believes that to be the best ID without examining it person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Nicholas, I'm happy you have IDed your Calamites examples. I didn't do that for all my specimens. This is the bigger Artisia I found yet.

Plantguy Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 (edited) Thanks Chris, this fern plate is some 35x45 cm, my biggest specimen yet. Hey Roman, that is a really wonderful looking specimen. Great dimensions and leaf attachment detail! Is that also from your Donetsk heaps? The matrix looks much lighter in color than the greys/pinks of the others?

The matrix looks much lighter in color than the greys/pinks of the others? Regards, Chris Yes, Chris, sure that find is from the mine tip. Do not pay attention to the colour, this picture was made under very bright sun rays, real colour is light grey. Regards, Roman.

RomanK Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 This is the old lepidodendron bark piece I found in May 2010. You can see the leaf cushions separated by wide 'lanes' which is very common for that basal part of trunk.

paleoflor Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Wow guys!... You certainly put power to the saying 'bigger is better' . Unfortunately I have to bring home my finds by public transport, so the 'big ones' usually get a ceremonial farewell instead of their rightful place in my cabinet . It's a treat to see all this though! Cheers, Tim Searching for green in the dark grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes bigger means more informative. Sometimes you can use a scope to demonstrate a beautiful details of the small specimen (I already did that). For me it's important criterium cause I work mostly on the heaps where rocks are splintered. Next time we can start the micro session.
