saysac Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 So much of what I find seems to have part of the plant material still intact. It is like you can peel a layer of the plant right off. Could it actually be plant material? Sherry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Well, heavily altered; I'm pretty sure there is no recognizable DNA, for example.

Auspex Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 What is carbon film? The carbon in plants is where coal comes from, once it is compressed, cooked, and well aged. Massive coal is what is left of massive thicknesses of vegetation; a leaf will yield just a film. 1 "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!

Stocksdale Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Is the carbon film where one would find the cuticle remains to analyze? Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.–Carl Sagan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
