Auspex Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Well done! Carboniferous, I'll wager.

Fossildude19 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Well done! Carboniferous, I'll wager. Correct! The area is part of the Narragansett Bay Group, - the plant fossils are likely from the Rhode Island Formation, but could also be from the Wamsutta Formation. Both Pennsylvanian in age - The Rhode Island Formation is Middle and Late Pennsylvanian, while the Wamsutta Formation is Early to Middle Pennsylvanian.
