Rockin' Ric Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Found these two fossils the same day at two different sites. The sites are 30 minutes east and west of each other. On both fossils there is a trigoncarpus seed pod. Could the images criss-crossing, overlapping each other be cyperite leaves or Lepidophylloides? ...Or some type of stems or root system?

Rockwood Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I believe these are the fertile fronds of the fern it's self. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docdutronc Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Hi Rockin' Ric These axis are very thin and narrow ! They are a mixt of Lepidophylloides and some type of root system like Pinnularia ( Calamites roots ). Best regard 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantguy Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Ric, Nice finds! Bruno is the expert! Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockin' Ric Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Yes Bruno is the expert! Thanks Bruno. I suspected that it was a mixture of something...I have found Lepidophylloides by themselves overlapping each other on the site of the first pic. The second pic, many Calamite impressions as well as fern and fern Rachis on that site. WELCOME TO ALL THE NEW MEMBERS!

docdutronc Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Hi I'm not an expert guys, just a french passionate amateur, let alone a science apprentice, just someone who tries to understand with logic.Here are some Diaphorodendron phylloides found in french alps ( South Belledonne ) ......

docdutronc Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Hi Tim -Unfortunately, there is no organic connection , or leafy branches, the attribution is based on an assertion . -The site is an allochthonous formation whose lightest plant elements are transported to the lowest point of the basin by the flow of water. There is no organic connection between Strobus and the different axis. -These Diaphorodendron axis are the lightest elements and among them also include Strobus and their bracts of Sporophylls carried on distances sometimes distant by the floods during the flood.Various parts of cones of axes and foliage are discovered in abundance in the outcroops. The relationship between axes, Strobus and Phylloides is based on the assertion that we admit a relationship between the various elements of the plant discovered in abundance by their simultaneous presence without organic connection of the various parts.

paleoflor Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Hi Bruno, Good to see you on TFF. Wonderful specimens. While you can be certain only when found in organic connection, a systematic, dominant co-occurrance surely suggest some sort of relationship. Also very nice that you have been able to recognize shifts in the depositional environment in your area. Kind regards, Tim Searching for green in the dark grey.
