regainfreedom Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I recently purchased some raw mazon creek nodules and have problems identifying them. The first one arrived broken and has been glued back. It appears to be a fern but I am not very sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regainfreedom Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 This is the negative of the first nodule mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regainfreedom Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 I have no idea what this is. Maybe a leaf stalk or a worm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 The first one looks like Pecopteris; the second one, I can't say other than it looks more like a twig than an animal.

RCFossils Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 The first is a pecopteris of some type. Tough to tell from your pictures but my best guess is P. lamuriana. The second appears to be foliage from a lycopsid. I would call it Cyperites sp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
