On a afternoon I visited a sandpit near Bayreuth. The idea came from this post:

http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/68415-bavarian-plants/

Ludwigia was so friendly to tell me where he found those nice plants ...

 

Shadefully it was also very rainy (yes i have no stamina :D) ...

Because of that i cant search that long but i found some nice things (although not that good things as Ludwigia) ...

Here are some of my finds:
 

I think the first and the second specimens are Podozamites distans, but i am not sure ...

Size: 10 cm

One of the best and the biggest piece :

Size: 22 cm

And this one is far the most interesting one ... Its very small but the details on it are awesome !!

The piece is 5 cm long and any help regarding ID are desirable :)

Very nice finds. I am curious, are the leaves that have wavy edges on this slab supposed to look like that or is it evidence of insect damage?
