kauffy Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 More triassic ferns not complete but very hard to find them more complete because they have a fine black paper like layer that flakes away so easilly "Turn the fear of the unknown into the excitment of possibility!"We dont stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.

Uncle Siphuncle Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 K Good image quality. I especially like the leaf fossils since I they are sort of rare here in TX. Grüße, Daniel A.

kauffy Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 KGood image quality. I especially like the leaf fossils since I they are sort of rare here in TX. Yes the are nice fossils, i have so many more but they are not very photogenic so its hard yo take pictures of them. The actuall plant is very interesting because you will mainly find large chunks of wood, leaves leaves and more leaves and seeds and they are all from the same plant. Must have been very successfull during their time! Thanks Anson, These fossils are quite old. I have spent hours and hours reaserching the internet finding any little bit of info about any site near sydney and then going for a drive and checking it out. Its been very successfull and i have many more fossils to show you guys but for the moment they are boxed up. Will post some more soon! going for a hunt this weekend to see what i can dig up "Turn the fear of the unknown into the excitment of possibility!"We dont stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.

jkfoam Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Kaufy, Nice fossils. Do you ever find any Triassic invertebrates there. If you do please post some photos regardless of how photogenic they may be. Again, nice fossils. JKFoam The Eocene is my favorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kauffy Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 Kaufy,Nice fossils. Do you ever find any Triassic invertebrates there. If you do please post some photos regardless of how photogenic they may be. Again, nice fossils. JKFoam There have been many inverts found in the triassic cliffs around sydney such as fish, amphibians and occasionally sharks but these are extreamly rare. I have not found even a sniff of an invertabrete but hopefully one day i will. They are more famously know from lenticular beds in the hawksberry sandstone and these beds have been known to produce huge quantities of well preserved fish and plants. these beds that were discovered in quarries have mostly been covered up. Few exposures of these lens' offer enough rock to really find anything worthwhile in the small chunks you pull out. I have found one recently though that is quite weathered and i will head back there soon and let you know how i do.
