JavierMS Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Hi everyone. I recently visited a quarry at the north of Spain (more specifically a geographical area called "El Bierzo", famous for its fossils from the carboniferous era) and I found this one, which looks like tree bark with some particular marks. I have found several well preserved fossils at the same quarry but I will upload the pictures later. I have been looking for information about this one in particular but I haven't found out what type of tree it is, has anybody seen this before? Thank you very much!

JavierMS Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Thank you very much for your help! And what about this one? The bark of Syringodendron? I guess the first image is the trunk without bark... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 It looks close to Stigmaria .
