Terry Dactyll Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Very nice examples and great to compare to what I have found... I think your undetermned could be Bothrodendron minutifolium?

docdutronc Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Hi Missourian and Steve , very similar to Asolanus bark without striation between leaf scars , nice sample Best regards Bruno http://forums-naturalistes.forums-actifs.com/t3382-asolanus-camptotaenia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missourian Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) 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. Edited September 11, 2012 by Missourian Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missourian Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Thanks doc Hi Missourian Yes very similar to this one ,who showed ,the external bark and the deep decortication associated. Best regards Bruno Thanks. It seems that Asolanus may be the only lycopod present in the Tonganoxie. Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomanK Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I may be wrong but it seems to me this picture is Asolanus as well (not Lepidodendron) like this one Roman http://s1143.photobu.../donbassfossil/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
