Auspex Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Beautiful! I have seen pictures of fossils of this creature, but never with such fine preservation.

Megaselachus13 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Very nice and curious pieces, I see that the Carboniferous in which you move produce a superb quality. I have seen that you've got a wide variety of tree ferns. What is certain is that once the coal basins of northern Spain also produced good ferns (logs, cones, seeds, branches of first order). But I never had see with reddish tones presenting as yours. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megaselachus13 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Hi Megaselachus13 ,where do you live, I have some samples from ASTURIA and LEON ,Magdalena in Spain bruno Hi Bruno, Today I live in southern Spain, but I've lived almost all my life in the north (Basque Country). For over ten years I was lucky enough to visit a few days to a friend who lives in Leon. We were visiting several coal basins, including La Magdalena. I remember fondly those places filled with ferns and stems of Calamites and other species. We collected many good examples, several of which I could classify through a copy of Wagner's that he gave to me. It seems he know him years ago and was classifying his collection of palaeobotany. I remember my friend was very lucky, because he had the opportunity to find the tip of a telson of a eurypterid by the fracture (when he found it and told it to me I thought that he was kidding). He then prepped the piece and turned out to be a complete eurypterid from head to telson without apendages. I recall that years later he told me that specimen was studied by a Japanese scientist. In Asturias, I haven't had the chance yet to visit coal deposits. Regards. Rubén Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
