Beautiful find again Roman. Shame it broke.I would think a seed cone like that would be quite rare.

Nice find, Roman! One day I will find a Lepidostrobus for myself, just need to find the right layers. :)

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???

Hi Steve. If it's a lepidostrobus cone, do you know what are those small spheres on the fossil?

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....
