Ludwigia Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Alethopteris perhaps? Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilcrazy Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Looks like a Pecopterid. The actual genus and species needs close examination of the veining to pin down. Love them nodules from either UK or US. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 @Fossildude19 Thanks for the info. Looks like a Pecopteris of sorts. Will try and get a closeup and will post in due course. MotM August 2023 - Eclectic Collector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 The general shape does resemble Pecopteris miltoni which is one of the more common species, although there are at least two dozen that are similar. I looked at your photos and I don't see that there is enough detail in the venation to really pin it down to a species, but if there is definitely post some photos. Mark.

Ludwigia Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Mr. Crazy got it right. My eyes ain't what they used to be, so a close-up would sure help. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
