Dpaul7 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I found a nice group of Calamites - I am thinking Calamites suckovii - they ARE common in this area of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. The pattern appears to match my reference books... but I like to be sure if possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 definitely Calamites sp.

Directly from the book (via cut & paste) Calamites suckovii. See Calamites cannseformis. XIII. Calamites suckovii. The book was printed in 1889 - A Dictionary of the Fossils of Pennsylva VOL I - So I imagine the name probably changed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
