Sizev_McJol Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Found this ages ago just lying alongside the road in Illinois... I think it was Illinois... heh... structure looks similar to a calamites horsetail IMO, but the symmetrical succession of the parts is curious. Any ideas?

abyssunder Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I can see clearly what Herb is referring to.

I don’t see one, perhaps that’s just my eyes.... “...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...
