Bruno.... I see youve been busy aquiring and finding some very nice material... I took a stroll down a hole today but didnt pick anything up I wanted, so I took some photo's instead...

Shallow ripple beds and a Cyclopteris..

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! Chris

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 . :rolleyes:

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.

Marvelous! Even I can see that it is unusual; not only that, it is a very handsome fossil :wub:

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...

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...

Hi Bruno, nice to here you again time to time, good new finds, nice Spirorbises. I found the similar case specimen with Alethopteris lonchitica.

Thank's Roman ,nice Alethopteris foliage with pinnae who beging to differentiate :wub:

very good work about Euramican Calamites ......

Wow! Some really nice additions were made during that one month of absence... NICE! :D

Hope I'll have time for some serious contributions again soon.

Hi Tim ,nice Lonchopteris foliage , I can see anasmosed veins ! :wub:

this plant comes from "Borinage" ,westphalian B from Belgium ?

I think the spirorbis climbs on the lower branches when the level of water is high ,these plants grow the foot in water

Bruno... Thanks... it makes a lot of sense...I wonder if the worms secreted material to produce the wormtube once they found a suitable site for a home... I shall do some googling...

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?...

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 :wub:

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.
