pedrobento Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Hi everybody, My 7-year old son found this piece a few months back during a morning visit to St. Clair, PA (Carboniferous, Pennsylvanian) with the rest of our family. He appears to always find the most interesting pieces. We have collected some Alethopteris sp, Neuropteris sp., and Sphenophyllum sp, but this piece is different and it does not fit the typical fern appearance, at least to me. Can you identify its nature? thanks !!! Pedro Pedro Bento, M.Sci. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I think it is a Calamites node, in section.
