JimTh Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) Found a new site, I think it's Pennsylvanian, no documentation on it. Thoughts? Edited April 28, 2015 by JimTh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 They look sort of like Bergeria, but I won't put any money on it. I would say Penn. also. There is a nice .pdf file of Fossil Plants of Indiana, free for download from the Indiana Geological Survey.

Auspex Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I think the 3rd is a partial Cordaites leaf; the 1st and 4th may be decorticated Cordaites limbs/trunks.

JimTh Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Thanks, Auspex! After your post, I found an old thread on this forum about Cordaites. My first picture looks a lot like some of the posted pictures in that thread. I did find another website that had a picture that matched my 2nd. It was described as Cordaites and was about 12" by 12", but not specific about what part. Is the second one bark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 ... Is the second one bark? The repeating diagonal pattern is suggestive of a Lycopsid, which have a habit of de-layering and showing many different aspects.
