Terry Dactyll Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Bruno..... Very nice fossils.... you do not very often see them on the stem here.... its usually one leaf head in a nodule........The coal spoil heaps viewed from across that field looks awsome....

MOROPUS Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Some Sphenophyllum from Northern France,from Leon Magdalena Spain ..... Hi Docdutronc! You`ve manage to have some Magdalena stuff at last! well, try to adquire some more, because the mine part of La Magdalena is now protected area, so no one could hunt there... Now another place is rich in veggies in the area. It is Villablino, another coal mine center. Some of the findings includes piritized trunks and leafs, with a fantastic golden colour: Yes, I know it`s not the best pic, but you could appreciate the golden colour...At a natural light, it is impressive!
