tombk Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I found this also lying in the dirt on top of a hill in Iowa city. The strata is Devonian in most parts of the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantguy Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Hi tombk, not bark but rather part of the root system called Stigmaria. The small circles are where individual rootlets attached to the larger part of the root. Congrats! Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I agree with Chris's ID of Stigmaria. Nice find.

evannorton Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 The uniformity of the circles does suggest stigmaria vs stigmariodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
