Auspex Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Extraordinary specimens, and great images, too!

Plantguy Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Thank you Chris! No, the same heap bush.jpgbothprep.jpg Hey Roman, I would have thought you had turned over every rock there by now. Just teasing you. Wow, thats looks to be the nice counterpart to your 3rd Bothrodendron photo from above isnt it! So nice! Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 The Donetsk mines are very deep, between 500 and 1200 meters deep, and thus the heaps are composed of material from the full cross section of coal-swamp strata. The mix of flora to be found, therefore, can change depending on when the part of the heap being searched was brought up. It's really like a box of chocolates...

Perhaps, it has something to do with a memory of a time gone by, when we were the prey, and our nights were filled with darkness..." -Eternal Enemies: Lions And Hyenas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right but the main amount of rocks are from the coal bed level, so for that case - from Moscovian.
