Auspex Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Lovely plate! The fine structure I've circled is most interesting "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!

Hi Steve, agree, 20x25 cm size block. Not sure about ID section, too small fragment. Roman http://s1143.photobu.../donbassfossil/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paleoflor Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (...) Is the section pointed out by Auspex Asterophyllites longifolius possibly?.....

Shamalama Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Great find and glad to see you posting finds again, Roman! Hope your area thaws out soon so you can collect more. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
