RomanK Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 It's very hot last weeks in Donetsk, up to 39 Deg. Cels. I tried to find on one tip in the center of the city, which I have visited before. To my surprise I found quite good lepidodendron bark specimen. Another lucky thing - first time I found the lepidostrobile.

Shamalama Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Nice bark, RomanK. The Lepidostrobus is an especially lucky find too! -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Beautiful bark, and congratulations on the the lepidostrobile! It sounds hot enough to turn the whole tip red!

Guest solius symbiosus Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Another lucky thing - first time I found the lepidostrobile. Nice stuff. I used to find similar things around here, but they were known as Ulodendron sp. Too, what is the plant in the second pic, some kind of Cordiates???

Too, what is the plant in the second pic, some kind of Cordiates??? Thank you, difficult to say for sure, because sometimes it seems like calamites sometimes like cordaites. Here we have mixed plant layers, I have found as cordaites as calamites. Roman http://s1143.photobu.../donbassfossil/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
