Nimravis Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Here is another item that I am looking for an ID on- It is a Pennsylvanian seed from the Manning Canyon Shale, Utah. I am thinking "Trigonocarpus" or "Cordaicarpus"- any suggestions or ID? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missourian Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Looks like Cordaicarpus. What kind of plant fossils are present in the formation? For comparison, an example from the Pennsylvanian of Kansas City: 3 Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For comparison, an example from the Pennsylvanian of Kansas City: I agree with Missourian, your find looks like Cardiocarpus. Trigonocarpus is typically longer than it is wide and oval shaped. 2 -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

Shamalama Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I might have found some Cardiocarpus from the Llewellyn formation of St. Clair. Just dug out some examples from a box. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.
