Missourian Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Those Calamites look like they had rivets holding them together. Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanK Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Those Calamites look like they had rivets holding them together. Just thin branch scars at the node. Roman http://s1143.photobu.../donbassfossil/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamalama Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Very nice Roman, the branch scars are well preserved. -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...

Bullsnake Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I never get tired of looking at your finds. I love the color of that shale and the detail of the fossils. Just like they are pressed into modeling clay. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
