Plantguy Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) Hi Bruno, you have some very nice acquisitions from Kentucky--darn I miss that place! Recent seed material finds are pretty special as well, both specimens together---WOW! HI Roman, you have some nice seed material as well. I need to go looking thru what I have to see if there is a hidden treasure on one of those plates. dont recall having anything in my collection. Hi Steve, koi pond digging has commenced! I was just about to hit enter on this post and I see your newest photo finds! Quite a collection of nice stuff you left. Lepid cones are great! I was thinking of your diggins when my son was over there for London's New Year's parade--he was too busy to be my remote collector/packrat! Best regards to all of you!

docdutronc Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) Hi my friends A find of this morning, a penultimate order pinnae from Laveineopteris tenuifolia Schlotheim, the pinnae will lobe to differentiate into the base to become the last order pinnae ,the pinnae coming to differentiate and are quite elongated oval.This specimen comes from the Basin Lievin, Bolsovian (Westphalian C) and seems quite consistent and similar to that figured by Professor Laveine . Plate XXXII Figure 1, fossil flora, Contribution to the Study of the Flora coal field,Les Neuroptéridées du Nord de la France, 1967. Which I joined the picture ....... You'll notice the leaves of circular marks that indicate the presence of Spirorbis, small annelid worms.

Auspex Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Hi my friends A find of this morning, a penultimate order pinnae from Laveineopteris tenuifolia Schlotheim... Marvelous! Even I can see that it is unusual; not only that, it is a very handsome fossil "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!

Terry Dactyll Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Bruno... Great finds!.... I wonder when the spirorbis worms actually attached to the frond... Just after it fell into the margins of the delta prior to burial or were they already attached when the plant was growing... Something I thought about, and havent got an answer... Cheers Steve...

Terry Dactyll Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I took a stroll down 2 holes at the weekend and found a few decent bits and bobs.... The Lepidodendron straight out of the nodule factory was the best 'keeper'.... Theres some bark specimens and another insitu tree stump... Cheers Steve... And Welcome if your a New Member...

paleoflor Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Wow! Some really nice additions were made during that one month of absence... NICE!

I think the spirorbis climbs on the lower branches when the level of water is high ,these plants grow the foot in water Bruno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Dactyll Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Bruno...

Terry Dactyll Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Heres a big chunk of Stigmariaroot... and a 'forking' stigmaria with small rootlets attached running into the shale noticed by a friend on a recent collecting trip... I wasnt aware that the trunk 'pith' carried on down the trunk into the roots as demonstrated by this example... With the piece being pretty large maybe it was immediately adjacent to the trunk... Have you noticed this?... Cheers Steve... And Welcome if your a New Member... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you noticed this?... Hi Steve I think it is a stigmaria with internal structure conserved, the cylinder timber (lignous ) corresponds to the central portion (colorwhite). The part with the radial structure radial is never kept on compression fossil ... congratulations Bruno http://forums-naturalistes.forums-actifs.com/t4340p15-stigmaria-ficoides-sternberg Edited January 31, 2011 by docdutronc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOM BUCKLEY Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Here's some of my Carboniferous / Pennsylvanian fossils. They aren't colored a nice white to contrast with the black shale, as those from St. Claire, PA, so, the best I could do was make them a little shiny to add some contrast. My favorite is the "INSECT TRACKWAY". Of course I didn't notice the trackway until a year later when I was taking a closer look at what I had gathered. I apologize for not posting the pictures, just a link to a web album. I can't figure out how to post pictures from my Picasa albums in an email or the forum. When I "click to attach files" I get directed to "my pictures" and would have search all over for the pictures that are in a nice album in Picasa. As a side note, if anyone has a solution I'd be very grateful. For now....here's the link. I hope that you enjoy the photos. http://picasaweb.google.com/102873949153948180953/CARBONDALE# Tom AVOCATIONAL PALEONTOLOGIST STROKE SURVIVOR CANCER SURVIVOR CURMUDGEON "THERE IS A VERY FINE LINE BETWEEN AVOCATIONAL PALEONTOLOGY AND MENTAL ILLNESS" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
