Auspex Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Fall is coming I suspect that someone must have discarded an apple core up there; are they good apples?

Fossildude19 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Roman, Great finds! Apples included! Love the pictures and the Report! The apples look like the Lodi ( Pronounced Low-die) apples we have here in the states - an early season apple - great for eating out of hand or baking. Unfortunately, they do not keep long, and burst when over ripe - we used to call them explodi- lodis! Thank you for another great report!

barefootgirl Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Yummy apples and wonderful fossils.

Shamalama Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Roman, Those Spirorbus on the leaf look really cool. Are you sure it's a leaf, like Cordaites, and not a branch or wood? The only reason I ask is I wonder how long it took for the Spirorbus to grow? -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

The only reason I ask is I wonder how long it took for the Spirorbus to grow? Hi Dave. No I'm not sure, it can be a fern (pteridosperm) stem, like on this pic. On the plate there are a lot of fern leaves (mixed). At this site there are a lot of cordaites leaves as well, so I thought that is cordaites. I found spirorbis at the neuropteris leaves earlier.

Scylla Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I didn't know what spirobis was so I tried to look it up: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=10&sqi=2&ved=0CDIQFjAJ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.grisda.org%2Forigins%2F02051.htm&ei=OFmVTOGlII7EsAOf6tS_Cg&usg=AFQjCNF0smJrqFcyhsOiSxpaJqxmbDRh1w Apparently it is fossil proof of the biblical account of genesis, I would say nothing about that on this forum, except for the apples...
