Auspex Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Those are, without a doubt, some of the finest Carboniferous plant fossils I have ever seen Oh, the details...

Guest Nicholas Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Those beat or at least rival the many Carboniferous fossils I've come across here, you have an amazing locality for preservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonjour de Floride . . . Very interesting fossils you have, but I don't understand your description of the source. What does it mean when you say, "from 'terril' spoil heap of LIEVIN"?? Is Lievin a ville near LENS? What is "terril"?? A tirrill (also terrill) burner (an engineering term) is a modification of the bunsen burner which allows greater flexibility in the adjustment of the air-gas mixture. Are you telling us that there is a commercial process that burns and vitrifies slabs of coal-shale? Or, are you doing the burning and vitrifying these slabs in your own kiln? Fascinating fossils! http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest solius symbiosus Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Though, it has been years since I hunted Penn stuf, I hope to visit those areas again. You might find interest in this: M_P_transition_I_64.pdf It is relevent to my area, but it contains data for "this" side of the Hercynian Orogeny.
