Auspex Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Cordaites trunk with roots Winterset Limestone Clay County, Missouri: Cool! Would those have been "prop roots", ala mangrove?

Missourian Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Cool! Would those have been "prop roots", ala mangrove? That's my interpretation. Besides the two long ones, there is a third, shorter one on the left, plus a couple carbonized 'knots' that are probably two others. Context is critical.

Herb Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Here's one of mine. From Hazard, Kentucky my home town, "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"_ Carl Sagen No trees were killed in this posting......however, many innocent electrons were diverted from where they originally intended to go.

Arctodus Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Fantastic finds here. Hey docdutronc, those reddish specimens are gorgeous. What's the red rock? I've never seen petrified wood that color before. Its nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Fantastic finds here. Hey docdutronc, those reddish specimens are gorgeous. What's the red rock? I've never seen petrified wood that color before. Its nice. This happens when the rock is subjected to great heat, as when waste coal burns in the spoils tip.

paleoflor Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Like Auspex said, the reddish rock forms during smouldering of the spoil tip, something nicely documented for a Scottish "bing" by Torrance et al. (2011). Another useful resource is the following website on similar material in North Dakota. Pictures above show Calamites and Lonchopteris fossils, in black and red (i.e. original and heated/reacted) rock varieties. Searching for green in the dark grey.

paleoflor Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 P.S. Sometimes you find rocks "half-way" the process... Searching for green in the dark grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 This is kinda cheating... I did not find this and it is not mine. I spent some time this month at the U of Alaska. This is one of the fossils they had. That is me showing the locals how to expose the leaf, It is a palm leaf from the Paleocene of southeast Alaska, and will be going on diplay in a month or two. They are opening a new dinosaur exhibit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
