Shellseeker Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Gery, lovely finds. Let me expose my ignorance what would be the types of processes that lay down the plants that created these fossils? Pointing me to a reference would be fine..

Shamalama Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Great finds Gary! You sure have a sweet pile to dig through and quite the variety of foliage too! -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

Jack, Many areas during the Carboniferous were swampy, with brackish and fresh water lagoons. Think of hurricanes, typhoons, tidal waves, or other large storms where there was flooding, storm debris, ... and lots of plant matter ending up in the water, only to be covered by sediment as things settled down. At least, that's my understanding of it.
