RomanK Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) Hi my friends Last find from Liévin aera Cordaites bark ??? with Artisia Bruno Hi Bruno, very interesting and good finds as usual, congratulations. What do you think about these pics from Russian forum (collector Mr. Shaposhnikov) wich look like lycopod and got a septed pith like Artisia? The specimens are the petrified wood ones. Thanks, Roman Edited April 10, 2011 by RomanK Roman http://s1143.photobu.../donbassfossil/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docdutronc Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 (edited) Hi my friends thank Auspex and Steve for your comments ... Some rachis ferns : Aulacopteris , preserved in print but slightly compressed three-dimensional, they seem flexuous rachis and are ornamented with fine longitudinal striations, about 2 centimeters wide, from Lievin Basin Bruno Edited May 8, 2011 by docdutronc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanK Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 (edited) Nice finds Bruno and Steve. That is my last one. This branch (first and second pic) was inside the specimen which looks like the Ompholophloios bark (third pic) Could somebody explain me whether it is Ompholophloios or not?

Terry Dactyll Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 (edited) Bruno & Roman... Stem finds are popular today and some very nice examples you both have posted... I have a couple of oddities for you to see that were brought to my attention by a friend of mine... I know 'what' they are but the preservation seems very unusual Firstly a very 'nobbly' Stigmaria... Secondly a strangely preserved Cyclopteris where the central section seems ok and the outer leaf edges are torn or possibly have started to decay... Any thoughts or ideas on these?

Nice stigma Steve, it looks like the rootlets were attached to the main root stem at burial time.

Terry Dactyll Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) RomanK....''Nice stigma Steve, it looks like the rootlets were attached to the main root stem at burial time.'' Roman...I can see what your saying and thats exactly what puzzles me... With Stigmaria being the 'root' system of a tree, the root itself would already be buried prior to any sediments being deposited to cover and fossilise it... most of the Stigmaria I have found has been in the not so well preserved 'seat earth' (or fossil soil) layer immediately below fossilised tree stumps...Typical examples show the attachment points for the rootlets but never anything like this and the attachment points themselves look quite flimsy on the crushed specimens where rootlets are visible...not so robust as this... I wonder if this could be an example of Stigmaria from nearer to the trunk itself which could explain the stronger attachment points for the rootlets? I havent observed this before...
