Miocene_Mason Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 What's the time period? First looks like a calyx, second looks like coal. “...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...
ynot Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 First piece looks like an iron stain. It has the same texture as the surrounding rock. Second looks like plant debris. Third is shell pieces that are to fragmented to identify. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

It is probably in lower Pennsylvanian or lower Mississippian. Second is probably coal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pennsylvanian comes right after the mississipian btw. “...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...
