Auspex Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 That is a rich site, Roman! In the last pic, is that maybe a cordate "pith"?

Hi Auspex, possibly you are right. In such kind of 'mixed' specimens it sometimes is difficult to ID details. You can see quite good prints of Neuropteris leaves put around 'sticks'. I think it can be a fragment of any branches - cordaite, fern etc. Roman http://s1143.photobu.../donbassfossil/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Dactyll Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 RomanK..... Nice finds.... one of my finds that looked like the stem was considered by Bruno to be a seedfern rachis or (stem)....The association with Neuropteris type foliage may help substantiate this.... thats my guess.... I like the red bark.....and the sigillaria Cheers Steve... And Welcome if your a New Member... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamalama Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Very Cool! -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...

I like the red bark.....and the sigillaria Hi Terry, as I told to Auspex in such mixed layer of the fossilised organic you can find fern's, calamite's or cordaite's fragmrnts. So, simetimes it's difficult to determine stem origine. It looks like fern stem, possibly. Roman http://s1143.photobu.../donbassfossil/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
