Mazon Creek Ids Needed (Braidwood)

[evannorton]

I went through some of my previous finds to pull out things I had yet to successfully ID.

Any thoughts on the below are appreciated.

1) Stem and branch of pecopteris given how many varities of pecopteris I find in the same location

2) bark/tree or root element

3) Looks like stigmariodes bumps

4) perhaps C. Goepperti

5) Neat piece of a branch with leaf scars and some leaves

3) Noeggerathiasestrobus

For No5 - that's seed fern rachis fragment with some detached leaves.

Anyone else have thoughts on these?

One last attempt...anyone else have thoughts on whether they agree with my IDs or not?

Hi Evan,

I think the right hand concretion in the first picture is a cyperite. Hope this helps.

Thanks Agrilus!<br /><br />I have a number of these partial cyperite leaves - but I wasn't sure - so thanks for your thoughts.<br /><br />Evan
