Small Pinnules

Recommended Posts

In a previous post i showed some finds from the British Coal Measures of Derbyshire , this is a small nodule from there it measures 21mm long x 12mm wide and the longest pinnule is just 4mm . I have tried to show it's size in these 4 pictures.

John, 

Excellent fossils! Smaller ones take up less room. ;) 

It just goes to show that even the tiniest of rocks/nodules can contain the largest of wonders.  :) 

Thanks for showing these.

I like the tiny pinnules because i have found single neuropteris  pinnules bigger than that small nodule which has at least 15 pinnules on it.

Fantastic specimens! Do you ever find any animal remains in these nodules?

 

Being a pit spoil the finds are random but there are signs of animal remains i have a very scrappy horseshoe crab headshield , but fingers crossed i will hit a sweet spot and will be posting fauna to go along with the flora.
