Congratulations, Gery, on your beautiful find!

 

(I was thinking of including a plant-related emoticon but there aren't any... perhaps that can be looked into by the powers that be...) :)

Words fail me.

Wonderful (and sizable) paleobotanical piece.

Thoroughly deserved,Nala

My Carboniferous bunions are acting up again.;)B)

Person's gotta love the Carboniferous

Seeing the piece,the phrase " Permian redbeds" comes to mind.

IS the matrix reddish?

Thanks doushantuo,yes it's a reddish matrix ,because the internal burn of the coal heap,the rock takes this unusual color :),but it's a Westphalian(carboniferous)level
