Hey Roman, more stellar finds! Unusual and very interesting preservation for the cones...Interesting to see how they've retained their 3 dimensional shape and seem to have been mineralized?

Wow on the sporangia! what an example! Wonderful photo!

Congrats!

Regards, Chris

Hi Chris! Thank you! Not sure about mineralization, that red-brown part of the specimen is quite fragile.
