Trekking in the Triassic of Virginia

Recommended Posts

Had a good excuse to explore the Falling Creek formation which I think is upper Triassic ( Carnian?) ...a nice walk in the woods and some plants to boot! Haven't had a chance to make ID's yet...

That does look like calamities, but I seem to remember it's an odd leaf structure- I have some paperwork at home...

I would put it under Equisetites sp. 

Nice finds, CCK.

Thanks for posting them. :)

Definitely not Clathropteris meniscoides. 

Examples of Clathropteris below:
