Howdy all, This is a lepidodendrale (Lepidodendron?) stigmaria that my Dad found in Knob Noster, Missouri way back when he was in high school. His memory isn't too straight since he found it so long ago and I'm curious what formation this may be from and if it would even be from Missouri.

Hi all, I'm curious about this piece of wood I found with some interesting, round nodules on the surface. Could it be some species of lycopod? About 3/4 inch in length. Found in Doña Ana county, New Mexico. Camp Rice formation. Thanks for any suggestions!

I’m looking for help identifying this find. It is a creek find from Van Buren county in Iowa. Every fossil I’ve ever found in Iowa is aquatic (corals, crinoid, brachiopods, etc), but this doesn’t look like anything I’ve ever found. It looks like fossils I’ve seen in collections of lycopodium bark. There’s even what appears to be a stem-like core in the “center”. Any help in identification would be much appreciated

These two pieces were collected several years ago in Centralia, PA (Llewellyn Formation; Late Pennsylvanian). For a long time I had no clue what they could be. After recently coming across a publication titled "Fossil Plants From the Anthracite Coal Fields of Eastern Pennsylvania," I think I have a better idea now. I was hoping that someone with more knowledge in paleobotany could confirm my suspicions. I have seen several version of Syringodendron online, but the image in the publication seemed to match these pieces. What do you think? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! #1- There are a series of "welts" on both sides of the piece that seem to run in pair on a bit of a diagonal line, as seen in the second and third photos #2- This piece similarly has a pair of parallel "welts" on the upper lefthand side, as seen in the second photo. The third photo is what is on the review. It doesn't appear to be well-preserved, so I have no idea what it could be - perhaps more Syringodendron

I have this fossil here which at first glance I perceived to be some kind of seed, however I’m not sure. These are both from the same individual, just the positive and negative sides. It is just shy of half an inch long. It was found in the North Attleboro section of the Rhode Island formation

I recently collected this piece with these two articulated fossils at an exposure of the Llewellyn Formation in Pennsylvania. They are respectively 14cm and 16cm in length. Based on an image in a book I initially thought they were Lepidostrobus (the cone of Lepidodendron) but now I am having my doubts. Examples of Lepidostrobus that I have seen on the Internet include the scales that come off the cone and these fossils clearly do not have these scales. On the other hand, these fossils have the typical diamond pattern that is characteristic of the bark of Lepidodendron, leading me to believe that these are examples of its branches. Yet they don't really look very branch-like with how thin they are and how much they bend. Does anyone know what these could be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I found this in Pensylvannian glacial till around a reservoir. It’s about 12” long by 5” in diameter. There are coal seams nearby. I think it’s a lycopod part of some kind but it doesn’t match most of the pics I’ve seen. Can anyone tell me more? I’m curious about the layered appearance. I don’t think it was in its original location as it was stacked on a big rock with other specimens. I left it in place due to regulations. Would have liked to keep it! Thanks!

I was a lucky recipient of a wonderfully CRAPPY package from @Nimravis a couple of months ago. Now I need some educating. 1. The only recognizable inclusions in this coprolite are plant fragments, most of which appear to be woody debris. There is one relatively intact "leaf?" that may be recognizable to some of you experienced Mazon Creek folks. My educated guess is it is from a lycopod. Can anyone confirm this. From what I have read, the only herbivores large enough to have produced a mass of this size are Arthropleura, the giant millipede arthropods. How exciting is that!?! 2. This one looks like some sort of stem fragment. Would this be from a lycopod as well?

I am preparing to sell a large specimen of Stigmaria, but am not sure of the price range. The specimen was collected from the Penn of eastern Kentucky, and measures a continuous 7'2" or so. The portion recovered above the shale bed is quite detailed and black in color, while the portion recovered within the shale will require some prep. In the photo, the item is the longer bottom specimen. Might someone provide me with a ballpark valuation of this item? STIGMARIA ROOT.pdf
