I have found that illuminating photos of cordaites fossils are relatively hard to come by. Hopefully these images will help to rectify the situation. Photos 1 and 2 are of a Cordaites borassifolus Sternberg fossil from the middle Pennsylvanian in Upper Silesia, Poland. I suspect that it is of the trunk and the nice, very fine striations are clearly evident in the close up (Photo2). Photos 3and 4 are of cordaites leaf specimens from the Mazon Creek area that was identified by both helpful Forum members and me. The close up of the Mazon Creek specimen (photo 4) clearly agrees with the literature in that they are strap like leaves, they do not have a prominent central vein and they do have equal, equally spaced veins. The Mazon Creek leaves also appear to be on a branch and sigillarius leaves apparently do not. Photos 5 and 6 are of a fossil from SW Pennsylvania that I have identified as a cordaites fossil. As with the Mazon Creek specimen, it is strap like, it has no prominent central vein and the veins are equal and equally spaced. The quality of the close up in Photo 6 is not the best and you might have better luck enlarging Photo 5.

Need some help from our plant experts. This is a 3D trunk cast that I found in the Lance Formation. There’s plenty online regarding leaves, but I couldn’t find anything regarding trunk identification. Thanks!

Good day. In this topic, I will display fossils that I found interesting. Some of them were found by me, but most of them were obtained by exchange or bought. I have already exhibited this coprolite in another topic, but I want to duplicate it here. This is my personal find, and it is interesting because on its surface many scales of the Senomanian fish have been preserved.

Hi everyone. I recently visited a quarry at the north of Spain (more specifically a geographical area called "El Bierzo", famous for its fossils from the carboniferous era) and I found the following ones. I think I have identified most of them but I would like to know your opinion. Thank you very much!

Fossil accidentally found in a brick that broke open. About 4cm × 6cm width and 15cm length. All 3 pieces slot together. Would like to know what it is, thanks!

Carboniferous trunk preserved in its natural position
Juan A. Poblador posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hello everyone! :) Here I show you some photos of a Carboniferous trunk preserved in its natural position. Really amazing !. It can be seen how the growth of the trunk curved the sediments of its around in its growth while pushing upwards. It is a magnificent criterion of stratigraphic polarity! It is an outcropping within a large Carboniferous Basin of Northern Spain, in Leon. Greetings! Juan- 3 replies

Hi to everybody, I just found this fossil-looking sandstone from Pliocene. It looks like a the internal structure of trunk, but I don't know if it could be some kind of bioturbation or any other think. Any guesses? Thanks!
