t-tree Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Went looking on a old pit spoil that is slowly giving up it's nodules,the site is in the British coal measures of Derbyshire as with Mazon Creek it is well overgrown but the nodules here are not easy to find ....Yet! These are 2 nodules from the spoil that i'm sure will one day give up it's treasures. Asterophyllites sp Lycopsids Cheers John 3 Be happy while you're living for you're a long time dead.

Plantguy Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Yes, those are very very nice finds! Thinking the 2nd might not be a Lycopsid, possibly another Asterophyllites as well. Nice to see you were still able to bring home some great material. Congrats! Regards, Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Chris Yes i think your right, the reason i put lycopsid was that it is so small and fine with the (pinnules) in a more closed position made it look different.

Regards, Chris I agree with the first being Asterophyllites. What do you think about Aphlebia for the second? Cheers, Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Rich I'm open to other ideas about what it might be. I think I see nodes/internodes so I'm thinking its some horsetail family fragment of some kind. Are there Aphlebia that show that? A clearer photo of the leaves/attachments might add something. Regards, Chris 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paleoflor Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Hi Chris, Sorry for the late reply. All specimens shown appear to be sphenophytes indeed, I'd say you're spot on with the nodes and internodes.

DE&i Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Very nice John @t-tree, I was up that way not so long ago found a nice neuropteris flexuosa showing the positive negative measuring 15mm in length. 1 Regards.....D&E&i The only certainty with fossil hunting is the uncertainty. https://lnk.bio/Darren.Withers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
