Miocene_Mason Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 We are about to leave in a few minutes (from lake Wallenpaupack where we currently are) , but before we left we helped a neighbor (who was absent) reposition a dock for when they let out water from the dam. He had used rocks from the location of the house as a border for a walkway, and I found this obvious fossil. It's Devonian, Catskills formation shohola member. I found a few other worse ones. First fossils I know of from Lake Wallenpaupack. Any ideas on what type of plant? “...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 July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 Could it be colpodexylon? “...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 July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 Or lepodenropis really I am clueless as to the differences... “...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...
piranha Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 The leaf cushions are quite different for Lepidodendropsis. Instead, it looks like a good match with: Colpodexylon deatsii figures from: Banks, H.P. (1944). A new Devonian lycopod genus from Southeastern New York.

doushantuo Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I briefly considered Haskinsia(or a preservational variant thereof),but certainly rejected that idea after seeing your post. Extremely good call,Scott B. edwardspalassvol28_part3_pp599-618.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
