Miocene_Mason Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Hello everyone, I recently purchased a lot of Mazon creek concretions for an extremely low amount of money. From this and the picture I assumed it meant most were just concretions, but I could see two ferns so I bid for it and easily one. I'm not familiar with Mazon creek flora and fauna, so I decide to ask all of you if they are just rocks or fossils, and if they are fossils, what type. There's sixteen so I'm going to post two a time (perhaps two a week depending on how fast they are identified) as to not overload all of you. First up is the two I know are fossils, both of which I think are ferns. Species or genus might not be possible to find out, but it's worth a try. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Cool! From what I know, it is a bit of a lottery, but if you got them on the cheap - more power to you!I know our Mazon experts will be on this shortly, but kudos on getting a bundle! ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 @Kanethanks, at price they were (spare change) there was almost no reason not to jump on it. If more or better pictures are needed, let me know. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Not quite the response (or lack there of) I expected. I'm gonna guess Alethopteris for the first one, I don't think I'd is possible for the second one. I've decided to do a second thread for the rest, because they may all be nothing. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
