JulianoLPD 10 Posted August 23, 2019 Hi there guys! Just received those pieces as pine cones. I believe that's alright, right? Collected from West Sahara - Morroco. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bobby Rico 8,992 Posted August 23, 2019 Looks good to me. Morocco really does have an astonishing array of prehistoric flora and fauna . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RJB 2,996 Posted August 24, 2019 These are NOT pine cones. Pine cones are from conifers, a tree. These are seed pods from an ancient plant called Horse Tails? Still cool though. I have some of these myself. RB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
