hitekmastr Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 We collected these Neuropteris fern leaves and stems, and Annularia (Calamite tree) leaves at McIntyre Mountain in June 2012. This site is at the very top of the mountain, where the coal pits have been reclaimed and converted to a forested park. The veins of the leaves show up very clearly in the closeup photos.

Auspex Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I really like your picture layout; just like a page from a fossil book!

Shamalama Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 It's too bad they are in such a rush to reclaim all those former mining properties. Not much left for we amateur Paleontologists to explore! -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...
hitekmastr Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 I really like your picture layout; just like a page from a fossil book! If we keep up our momentum, my wife has urged me to compile what we develop into a short fossil book/guide - this would be a good project for when I retire in a few years and I told her we might have enough interesting stuff by then, along with what we learn along the way, especially for beginners.
