Would these be leaves, or leaflets? My assumption is that they are compound.

Hi Auspex

Most of these leaves are counpound ,the autors described the lepidodendron branches whith leaflets ,the common name is "leaf" like Conifera ,very difficult to find a good sample .....,look this sigillariaphylloides !!!!!!

lepidodendron leaves are more short than sigillariaphylloides .....

Hi Doc,

Here are a couple of pictures of the first fossil I ever pound. Lepidodendron

I was nine years old with my parents on vacation at Robbers Cave state park in Oklahoma.

It is not very fancy, however it takes a prominent place in one of my fossil cabinets becuase it was the first.

Thought someone might like to know about this location. It was about 10 miles east of the park.

It looked like a forest fallen down in the woods there was so much material. I took buckets of it home.

Sigilaria as well.

If it doesn't have a backbone, I don't know much about it.

Thats why they call me Bones instead of Roots.
