stoogeco Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hello all. I am trying to identify the attached 2 pieces. They are both found in western Massachusetts, and came in a large collection that I just purchased. I'm sure many of you know exactly what they are. Please educate me! Thanks for the help as always.

DPS Ammonite Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 The first 2 pictures are of a Calamites. The other 2 are probable Lepidodendron. Both are Paleozoic plants. My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned. See my Arizona Paleontology Guide link The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere.

Carl Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I'm going to go with Sigillaria for the last 2 photos. By giant lycopod tree either way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) I wasn't aware of any carboniferous deposits on the western end of Massachusetts? Are you sure the locality information is correct there? I know there are carboniferous aged sediments on the eastern side of that state. I concur with the others, Calamites and Sigillaria.
