erose Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Definitely a piece of dragon leg…. Seriously it does look similar to tree trunks I have seen in the Carboniferous of Pennsylvania, USA. Nice fossil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 The pattern is unfamiliar to me, but first thought is sigillaria/lepidodendron. 2 “...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...
dolevfab Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Looks like a fern or cycad trunk. I would bet it's a fern. The branches are densely packed. Just like you would see on modern tree ferns and cinnamon ferns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nala Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 Thanks WhodamanHD,i have found few sigillaria trunks and many lepidodendron bark and big stem,and they really didn't have this shape,you are right dolevfab,it's like modern tree fern and cinnamon ,perhaps the top of a psaronius?
