Peter T Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Bruno has spoiled us with his beautiful images of Carboniferous plants from France. During the trip we did together, we came across a block of stone containing lepidondron parts. I took a large piece home and have now opened it. Here are some pictures: Branch splitting into two Another piece The same one opened Detail of the print in the stone Small part also found in the same block showing the spot were an even smaller branch left the tree. I’m sure Bruno will give us additional information. Thanks again Bruno for the great trip Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again Bruno for the great trip Peter As I say in a previous post ,Aspidaria is assigned to lepidodendron genus ,aspidaria is a decorticated (eroded ) form genus ,we see a perfect pit cast with traces of vascular veins that serve the leaves and a counter part of a dichotomic branche .....,the small branche present leaves cushions as perfect lozenges ,lepidodendron obovatum sternberg ,the holes could be interpreted as lateral branches ...A wonderful specimen Peter .....

docdutronc Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 Many people confuses lepidodendron trees and lepidodendron roots ,here is Stigmaria who is a root , common to the genus lepidodendron and sigillaria ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Do I understand you to say that both Lepidodendron's and Sigillaria's roots share the form taxon Stigmaria?

Bill Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Yes. From Wiki" Stigmaria are a type of branching tree root found fossil in Carboniferous rocks. They were the roots of coal forest lycopsid trees such as Sigillaria and Lepidodendron. Each trunk tended to have four of those roots. KOF, Bill.

Yes Auspex ,the genus Stigmaria has been created by Sternberg ,and is assigned to the root systems to the great lycopods ,often it is imposible to discern the both lepidododendron's and sigillaria's roots, distinguish between lepidodendron and sigillaria is hypothetic the roots are often found separated to the trunks ....
