Allenz Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Hi all Been wondering why when I ask for a possible ID a lot of people say it doesn't look like it is from Mazon creek ,I think I know why , Going to post 2 pitchers one in normal the other I coverd with just egg white you can see big difference,don't know what egg white dose besides brings out more detail and make calcite turn clear only down side is it lasts on certain Fossils for a couple of days then have to wash off and do again on some.

Fossildude19 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Hey Allen, I think they are saying it doesn't look like Mazon creek stuff because they are used to seeing the Nodules, rather than the shale from there. That said, I do see some plant bits in the first photo. Not enough detail to make ID, however. (At least, for me.) If comparing methods, though, you should take pictures from the same angle - shots should be identical, save for the egg white application. That's when you notice differences.

It's pretty hard to ID, but I'd feel confident that those are fragments of a fern stem. Im not good with Pennsylvanian species, but maybe something like Neuropteris? The second one is a plant stem impression. Pretty much impossible to ID. The last one is a carbonized leaf part. Again impossible to ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
