Missourian Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Nice specimens. For people on this forum, a lump of coal in the Christmas stocking would be a good thing. Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPlainPetrified Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Yeah, I'd take a big lump of coal too! Merry Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squali Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Thanks nala for the tour of your coal heap. As they say-- One man's trash is another's treasure. For some reason I find vast industrial wastelands fascinating. The vegetation and wildlife seem relatively patient with our disturbances and are relentless in their return. It's hard to remember why you drained the swamp when your surrounded by alligators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plantguy Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Thanks Missourian;JustPlainPetrified,and squali And i have found my Christmas tree!Merry Christmas!IMG_4241.JPG Gery, that plant is gorgeous. congrats! Others are excellent as well. Looks like you do indeed have some pelecypods there...looks like in one of the samples you have one with nearly complete attached valves--very nice. Polymorphopteris?IMG_4264.JPG I'm thinking this last example could be part of the Alethopterid group due to shape of and how the bases of the pinnules are attached. Awesome stuff.

Shamalama Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Great finds Gery, Those piles just keep on giving! -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...

Wrangellian Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Would those be freshwater bivalves, if they are found in a 'ferny' area? (swamp, lagoon...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nala Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 it's the first time i find this kind of fossils,the plate is totally full of imprints in both sides,perhaps freshwater bivalves,i still not find the ID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
