Mrteacherdude Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Found in Braceville. Specimen had a coating of coal encompassing all sides. Weighs 6 pounds. I was thinking possibly Stigmaria but am taken aback by the size of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izak_ Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Is stigmaria (lepidodendron) found a mazon creek? It could be a fern stem? I don't know what you would call it. Like I said in another post, I am not a wealth of information on your area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Looks like Stigmaria to me. Don't forget - many of the "trees" of that era were huge, and they needed equally large root systems to support/sustain them.

Stocksdale Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Yes, roots (stigmaria) and trunks of lepidodendron are found there. I've found a cast of part of a lepidodendron trunk near Braceville. Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.–Carl Sagan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
