Auspex Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I wonder- what was it like? What did the forest smell like on a sunny day? What did the insects sound like at noon? At night? Did the breeze rattle the fronds like bamboo wind chimes? Your beautiful fossils make it so real that the imagination is free to walk among them.

Megaselachus13 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Very nice, the contrast of yellow on a black background is absolute. To which part of Lepidodendron do strobus belonged ?. Them remind me recent Araucaria pine cones , just as in elongated version. Greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the breeze rattle the fronds like bamboo wind chimes? Your beautiful fossils make it so real that the imagination is free to walk among them. It was qiute sad forest I think. No birds, no batterflys, no bees, no beetles. Only noise from Meganeuras and Dictyoneuridae and the leaves rustle under 2 m Arthropleuridae and wind murmur of the forest branches. Difficult to say something about smelling - cause no flowers as well. Roman http://s1143.photobu.../donbassfossil/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOROPUS Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I always imagine the carboniferous forest, with a moss smell, hell-hot, with a high humidity, and the splash sound of strange animals entering big black water pools. And some buzzing sounds of Meganeura fliying around, and the tenous stepping of the cockroaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docdutronc Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Yes, the smell of ferns in the hot sun... Yes the smell of the ferns in the hot sun , but it was not an idyllic forest , breathing was certainly difficult , humididy , damps , moisture , the big concentration of sporanges in the atmosphere,it was not very good for pulmonary breath....,sure no beneficent for modern human species .... bruno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a hard breathing! Roman Roman http://s1143.photobu.../donbassfossil/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
