Rockin' Ric Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Hello all! I got to go fossil hunting today after work before the storm rolled in. I'm familiar with most Carboniferous Flora but these two finds. Is the fern frond and leaflets called Peripteris or something else? The second and third pic looks like a Calamite? It has ribbing but no nodes present? Could this be a leaf of some type of Lycopod? Any help would be appreciated. Carboniferous Period, Pottsville Formation, Alabama. WELCOME TO ALL THE NEW MEMBERS! If history repeats itself, I'm SO getting a dinosaur. ~unknown www.rockinric81.wixsite.com/fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notidanodon Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Well they’re nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimravis Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 The first piece looks like Alethopteris serli and the other 2 are Calamites with internodes. The internode is to the right of your thumb in the second picture and to in the top left of the third picture. It looks like the same piece except w different pictures. Nice finds. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
