Bothrodendron Shoot

[RomanK]

I use a warm weather, there is no snow here. So... I found:

Calamostachys cone

Bothrodendron branch (slightly decorticated)

Bothrodendron stem with furrow

and Bothrodendron leafy shoot with odd yellow spots

[AeroMike]

those are areally nice, and I like that you included close up shots, thanks for sharing.

Hi Roman, some more great finds...

Interesting yellow spots...maybe lateral sporangia--spacing looks very defined/regular, that would be a really neat find.

Hi Chris! I have an answer at the moment! Look at this Taylors book quote:

"One difficulty in dealing with fossils of the Lycopodites type is in distinguishing these remains from the distal twigs of members of Lepidodendrales. When sporangia are scattered along the stem in association with leaves resembling vegetative leaves, identification is easy, but most known specimens of Lycopodites consist only of vegetative remains."

So, that is just Lycopodites - herbaceous lycopod.
