Hi everyone, I've been working on a project about fossilised megaspores found in a Namurian (Late Carboniferous) coal seam in the UK. There are very few papers and photographs of megaspores so classification is a challenge! I have a couple of my unidentified specimens here that have been extracted from the coal, and was wondering if anyone could help me out? Light microscope images are attatched. The maximum diameter of the compressed spore is 1125 µm for Species A, and 1225 µm for Species B. I believe that the depositional environment was a Late Carboniferous swamp forest, dominated by arborescent lycopsids. All the best, Eloise

I wonder if hyoliths are common in Pennsylvanian strata. Are they found in Mazon Creek Nodules?

Dear Guys, Last week I was in the coal quarry, Donbass (Ukraine) and found this skin impression in coal shale. The age is Gzhelian- Early Aselian (Carboniferous and Permian boundary) and judging by the scale texture I can see that scales were very thin (like in the birds and dinosaurs) so I think it was quite proggressive reptile and it could be the early synapsid. In synapsids scales could be gradually dissapearing like in dinosaurs and birds- they do not look like thick osteoderms. I tried to find information about Carboniferous reptile skin fossils but I not found anything... I think it could be very rare find, so please help to identify this if you could Best Regards Domas
