RomanK Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 This speciman was found on coal spoil, so it's difficult to say what period exactly one belong to. What members think about this one? Size some 200x150 mm. Roman http://s1143.photobu.../donbassfossil/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest solius symbiosus Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Nemiana, as is a lot of the Vendian/Ediacaran stuff, is enigmatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 What ever it is, it looks like there is another, unexposed one at 10 Oclock to it; it appears to be a bit more amorphis, with a "smear" extending fron its left side. A higher consistency of form would argue more strongly for them being discrete organisms.

RomanK Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 What ever it is, it looks like there is another, unexposed one at 10 Oclock to it; it appears to be a bit more amorphis, with a "smear" extending fron its left side. A higher consistency of form would argue more strongly for them being discrete organisms. I made 4 new pictures to show it better.

Auspex Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Great pictures; they reveal a number of interesting features, and more questions. The texture of the matrix is fascinating; do you know which side is up (ie: whether we're seeing positives or negatives of the impressions)? It almost looks like algae. In the last pic, the lower large object seems to show a "disarticulation", with a "trail" of something leading off the slab toward 5 O'clock; this is as puzzling as the overall texture.

Could the thing that sticks out have came out of the hole like object? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex, it was a piece of stone lied on the coal spoil slope. All things surrounding that one were from Upper Penn - mainly calamites and some ferns leaves. It's difficult to say which side is up, I thought - the shown on the pics. Later I desided that it seems to Nemiana cause find posted beneath pic in Internet.

RomanK Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 yea that is fascinating, does the texture fell the way it looks! Could the thing that sticks out have came out of the hole like object? I didn't get such impression. Basic question I asked myself what is origin of such surface? It seems to Nemiana I think.

Auspex Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Unfortunately, the Ediacaran assemblage has a date range of 635 to 542 myo; unless your site has a major discomformity; Nemiana is not possible. There were jellyfish and "bubble algae) in the upper Carboniferous, though.
