Sort of a Mazon Creek type preservation?

Yes. It's at about the same stratigraphic level.

This last one may be from the Tonganoxie, but I didn't take good enough notes....

Very nice examples and great to compare to what I have found... I think your undetermned could be Bothrodendron minutifolium?

Thanks Terry Dactyl and docdutronc.

Do you have images of Bothrodendron, do you have any images handy. Google continues to be worthless.... :)

As for Asolanus, could my other Tonganoxie bark and twig specimens (labeled "decorticated Lepidodendron?") be the same as well? They look similar to other examples of Asolanus in the link.

Thanks. It seems that Asolanus may be the only lycopod present in the Tonganoxie.

Hi Missourian, very nice finds! I like 3D Asolanus twig! Really good examples!
