Auspex Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 You have plants from many ages in the Ukraine! Do you know what this Eocene site is like, and what else is found there?

RomanK Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) You have plants from many ages in the Ukraine! Do you know what this Eocene site is like, and what else is found there? That was a sandpits as said my friend in Lugansk and Kharkov regions. There was shells and petwood there.

goroshkom Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Nice wood, Roman! In Kyiv sands, which are also mainly Eocene age, some pieces of a wood also occur. They look like your specimen from Kharkov reg. I will make some pictures of the wood, when I cope with scanning of my teeth. Maybe, you could help me to identify it. What's interesting, all my wood have annual rings, despite Eocene climat of Ukraine was subtropical/tropical. Do you know, which climat conditions make the rings to disappear?

Shamalama Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 The specimen from Karkov looks exactly like what we find in Delaware. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
