Robii Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 yesterday i was in germany with the brother of my girlfriend. So i thought i quick stop at a stone quarry, but there was a lot of snow on most of the bodem. I have never looked for fossil in the snow before... but here are some of the finds i took home... not so nice specimens as docdutronc but still nice.. some stigmaria (the roots) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Lovely fossils Robii, and (to my uneducated eye) a variety of species. I will watch this thread for IDs.

I have never looked for fossil in the snow before... but here are some of the finds i took home... not so nice specimens as docdutronc but still nice.. some stigmata (the roots) All of them are ferns, second and forth - Alethopteris, other - look like Eusphenopteris but it's job for Bruno , he can say exactly about species.

Guest solius symbiosus Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 The last one looks like a stigmaria that has split along a sagittal plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the second plant I don't agree ,look it is Neuropteris dussarti new specie created by Professor LAVEINE in 1969 ,the basis of the pinnule are "cordiforme" like a heart ,You must look about mariopteris sauveuri (karinopteris )Boerma ,number 1 2 3 are mariopteris ,4 is alethopteris ,5 is stigmaria with lateral roots..... see the picture,so your plants are very nice ...... bruno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
