wow. That is fantastic.

 

Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt
behind the trailer, my desert
Them red clay piles are heaven on earth
I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt

Very nice Pecopteris arborescens! Love the Alethopteris sp., too. Here's a few unusual pics of Odontopteris brardii and Sphenophyllum longifolius from Cory"s Lane. Maybe you've found these guys, too. Age of these beds is Stephanian B?C.

Yes, the fossils at Corys Lane are from the Rhode Island formation, late Pennsylvanian, approximately equivalent to  the Stephanian of Europe. approximately 290 million years before present. Here's a link to a diagram of the stratigraphy. (look for the "P" in the diagram, for Portsmouth, RI.)

Start the day with a smile and get it over with.
