Bruno, with each new post, the magnitude of your work is slowly dawning on me...

Even a slow student such as I can see that it is important.

Every time I see that you have made a new post I can't wait to open it, because I know that it is going to be worth it. I have learned so much from you and seen some of the most beautiful specimens in the world. Your work and knowledge of plant material will touch many for years to come.

"It is going to be worth it " I don' t know, but I am pleased to share my passion for fossil plants, I'm just a little disappointed not to receive pictures of U.S. plants, may be that American fans n 'dare to post their findings ....

I do not want to be the best, maybe my pictures may suggest, flora of American pennsylvanian's level is specific and is similar to the north of France and Europe but it is unknown to me ....

I searched the heaps for nearly 30 years, I still discover something new in my Paleobotany coal output is an evolving science...

thank you again for your compliment...

Bruno,

those pieces are really phantastic. In Belgium they are hard to find. Here is a picture of one we found near Mons.

Thanks again for all your photographs and knowledge.
