Lloyd Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Nice ferns. I can see from the frost on them that the snow probably isn't far off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vordigern Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 love the coloring of those ferns, nice finds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Dactyll Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Roman.... The shale has deep colours in the low winter lighting... very nice specimen... Could you put a tarpaulin sheet over a good bit of the heap to keep the snow off... That way you can always go and peel it back and have a dig Cheers Steve... And Welcome if your a New Member...

That way you can always go and peel it back and have a dig Steve, I hope I have a possibility to have a dig at least one month more without any tarpaulin sheet due to the global warming Thank you for your comment.

Rockwood Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I bet October 29 was a lost weekend. By the way is there a simple way to distinguish between seed ferns and spore bearing ferns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Nice finds, as always, Roman. I wish you well on your final hunts before winter sets in for you!

RomanK Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 I bet October 29 was a lost weekend. By the way is there a simple way to distinguish between seed ferns and spore bearing ferns. Thanks for your comment Rockwood. Not sure I've understood clear your first sentence about lost weekend. As for second one I don't know that simple way but can share my own experience. Firstly I tried to know and set eyes on all kind of true ferns and seed ones at different wellknown collection. This link can help I think. Then you need just recognize particular species sometimes comparing yuor finds with other collections. More links you can see here. Regards, Roman.

I should have checked your location. Based on assumption and memory, both flawed, I thought you were from the eastern US. We had a freakishly early snowstorm while I was there on a collecting trip.
