Wow, super finds.

Love the scenery as well.

I really like the Stigmaria, that is a beautiful piece.

Thanks for sharing.

That one looks a bit like fossilized tall grass to me. I mean I understand that it is not, but it reminds me of a field of tall grass.

You have a fabulous collection of stuff.

Very nice Roman! :D

I love the annularia, and the rhizomes are exquisite!

Thanks for posting them.

Hi Roman, more great material! Looks like another fun outing.

So is that slope covered in wild lilac?---the lavendar colored flowers? Regards, Chris

Are those lilac growing on the slope of the tip? If so I'll bet the air smelled very nice up there. :) Beautiful fossils as usual!

The one plant has leaves that look just like poison ivy leaves. Only that looks like a bush and not a vine.

The rhizomes are intriguing. They resemble some of the roots I've found below a zone of Cordaites:

Context is critical.
