Impromptu Fossil Trip Yields Triassic Plants!

[barkersaurus]

Had my husband drop myself and Bella the Labradoodle off near an area I had heard there were fossils. I walked down to the cliff and a piece had eroded out. It was full of partially weathered plant fossils, which I am fairly sure are Dicroidium, a Mesozoic seed fern. There was also a seed/cupule that I have posted in the ID thread for an accurate appraisal, check it out, it's gorgeous and shimmers in the light!

Ok I will stop gushing now, here are the pics XD

Please keep posting them.

Thanks to you both! It really is a good site that Australia through time, need to read it more thoroughly, and to get my paws on a copy of the Greening of Gondwana!

Very nice finds! Going to look at that seed now!

Fascinating. I wonder what's under that red material.

[barkersaurus]

Hitekmastr, I think the red might be faint imprints of other plant material.

I would love to get some more info on where this place is… I LOVE TRIASSIC PLANT! And don't forget the possibility of vertebrates…
