Howdy all, Found some plant fossils inside some coal plates eroding out if a creek in Edmonson County. This one is pretty clearly a stigmaria and I've labeled it as Lepidodendrales indet. This next one I'm pretty sure is a wood fragment from a cordaites, though, I could be wrong. To my knowledge, cordaites is the only woody plant in the area. I compared the grain to that of some cordaites petrified wood and it looks pretty similar. this next one is on the same plate as the previous one. I'm not entirely sure what it is but it looks similar to the grain of palm or bamboo wood. I want to say this is pith from a Calamites but I'm unsure. . This appears to be a leaf impression, I'm guessing a species of calamites, though possibly some sort of pteridosperm. I also found some large calamites stems in the same site in a coal plate but I was unable to take them with me, as they were very brittle and falling apart. I unfortunately do not have any pictures, but they did have visible nodes.

Howdy all, Here's a fossil of a lepidodendron stigmaria (found in association to other lepidodendron material). It was found in a coal seam in Kentucky according to the seller, and I am curious what part of Kentucky this would be from. Nolin Lake sounds likely to me, but I'm unsure.

I found a few of these at Joggins fossil cliffs on Nova Scotia. I wonder if it's a nut from the Coal Age tree in the forest fossilized within the cliffs?
