WyomingRocks! Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 My favorite leaf fossil I have found so far. Cercidiphyllum arcticum from the Paleocene of Montana. It had a layer of minute iron xtals on it and they turned to rust when exposed to water. This one is as found. WyomingRocks! Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) I can't say that I've got an all-time favorite, but this is one of them. Crednaria zenkeri var.acuminata Crednaria sandstone, Santonium, Upper Cretaceous Blankenburg, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany Edited August 24, 2015 by Ludwigia Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

John K Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 We were fossil hunting with a friend around Topeka Kansas many years ago, and were looking for insect parts in outcrops of hard, hard shale nodules exposed around cattle wallows (southwest of Topeka? It's been a long time...) When we started busting open the nodules, we found plants instead. I've since found better plant fossils, but this is my favorite because it's the first I'd ever found. I'm pretty sure this is a Calamites Annularia of some sort: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangellian Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Thanks Coco, it took me a very long time to find a piece like this that has pristine cones that are attached to the original branch. Most of them are attached to branches of other types of pet wood. It is prepped just as found. Also the overall arrangement, color and eye-appeal in general of this one seemed very attractive to me. That one is excellent... but where is it from? I have no idea where 'Megtown' is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old dead things Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Mine isn't near as nice as the ones posted above. An unknown specimen from the Fort Union Formation in south central Montana near the town of Broadus. Collected in a gravel pit.
