Cianfaglione Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Here are a few recent plant finds from the Early Jurassic East Berlin Formation in Hartford County, Connecticut. Possible plant ID's include Brachyphyllum/Pagiophyllum, Loperia simplex, Otozamites brevifolis. The most interesting fossil plate includes a marking that features three filamentous strands on one end, and a minute spore/seed head on the other. Comments, identifications, or corrections are greatly appreciated. Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Great finds, Paul. Well done. I think you are correct with your ID's. The thing with the filaments is new to me - maybe a rootlet or seedling of some sort? Not sure. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Using a pin or scribe might show more of the fossil. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
