RomanK Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) Lepidodendron mannebachense has a special cone bearing branches in it crown. The cones are attached to the branch through the peduncles. You can see that hole diameter at the branch (point of peduncle attachment) is equal to the hole in the cone (empty space along the cone axis) - around 3-4mm.

Fossildude19 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Roman, Don't know how I missed all of these wonderful posts! I wonder how many different species of Lepidodendron are represented at your Donetsk sites? Are you keeping species lists? Thanks for continuing to show us your wonderful finds!

Shamalama Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Very nice and interesting fossil Roman. Keep up the good work! -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
