RomanK Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I've never found something like these two things. It's not a plant I think. Has somebody any idea? First bigger Roman http://s1143.photobu.../donbassfossil/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyguy784 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Beautiful find again Roman. Shame it broke.I would think a seed cone like that would be quite rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamalama Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Nice find, Roman!

Nicholas Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I agree with Lepidostrobus cone, or if not Lepidostrobus some other cone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomanK Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 I agree with Lepidostrobus cone, or if not Lepidostrobus some other cone. Hi Nicholas, usually I found pyrite in animal fossils, that's why I thought that specimen isn't plant. Has somebody any ideas for second specimen???

If it's a lepidostrobus cone, do you know what are those small spheres on the fossil? Roman http://s1143.photobu.../donbassfossil/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamalama Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hi Nicholas, usually I found pyrite in animal fossils, that's why I thought that specimen isn't plant. Has somebody any ideas for second specimen??? Can you post a clearer pic? It looks like another cone to me. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

Terry Dactyll Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Romank.... I think your seeds are much more deleloped than mine.... Maybe I should rephrase that.... Id double check with bruno , but I can see that 'texture', to a lesser extent on my specimen.... Cheers Steve... And Welcome if your a New Member...
