Stocksdale Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Definitely Lacoea! Lacoea (Leary 1973) I took some pictures of drawers of Lacoea at the Illinois State Museum just yesterday while graciously being hosted by Dr. Richard Leary the one who fully described this item in '73!!! 1 Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.–Carl Sagan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paleoflor Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Superb specimen! It would indeed be wise to get this amazing collection neatly catalogued. Searching for green in the dark grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saysac Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) Thank you Paul! Do you remember this one I found, and could this be one also? Someone thought it was Aphlebia. Edited October 8, 2015 by saysac Sherry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I would say that looks a match as well, Sherry.

Stocksdale Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Yes, I think it may be. It looks similar to the "crown" part of the first photo from Illinois State Museum. Earlier, I had wondered if your "aphlebia-like" thing could be associated with your cycad-like "Danaeites." I've seen some aphlebia-ish things being associated with Bennettites and cycad-like plants. But, it does look pretty close to Lacoea. Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.–Carl Sagan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiggieCie Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I took some photos of this also yesterday. Great fossils in person. What is very interesting is the green metal flake hue to it, on the enlarged view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
