You did well there, Gordon! :dinothumb:

Hard work to find good material there, from what I understand. 

Thanks for the pictures. :)

Nice finds! It's too bad that most of the Eastern PA carboniferous yields specimens with low contrast. Hard to make out all the details that are there. 

 

Here are my takes on the ID's:

Pic 1 is Alethopteris (at bottom) with a side view of an Asterophyllites.

Pic 2 has some Lepidodendron bark on the left.

Pic 3, 5, 6 & 7 are Neuropteris

Pic 4 is Alethopteris

 

  • I found this Informative 2

For this kind of fossil, I suggest taking pics in full sunlight, with the sun at a low angle... But from what I can see, they look very nice.

Congratulations Gordon. Looks like you did real well for a first timer at that site. It was a pleasure collecting with you that day.
