Shamalama Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Roman, excellent finds as usual. The articulated Calamostachys cones are the prize of your trip. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

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...

Plantguy Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Hi Roman, what a very fine sampling you got this visit. As Dave and Tim pointed out those cones are really a memorable find! The detail and in position too--absolutely wonderful. I can see that split pair making it into your prized collection and somewhere in the front row of the display! Thanks for sharing!

Auspex Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Your Calamites cones are a wonderful find Can you make out the attachment points of the sporangia? They seem densly-packed, and so are probably paired between the whorls (Calamostachys), but have you ruled out Palaeostachya? I think they are the former, but it is worth a look.

LINK Thank you Auspex, yes I know the difference between Calamostachys and Palaeostachya but as says your link "It is often difficult or impossible to determine the type of a cone". That's true. I'm not sure about particular species Roman http://s1143.photobu.../donbassfossil/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
