Auspex Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 With your permission, Bruno, I would like to add this post for all who follow this topic (which I hope will run for years!). During the Carboniferous, Europe and N. America were conjoined as the northern supercontinent "Pangea", which straddled the equator. The following link is to a site showing the arrangement of the land masses at that time; one look and you will see why Europe and N. America share the same fossils from this time. http://www.paleoportal.org/media/boilerpla...ap_12_image.jpg "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!

flyguy784 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Congradulations, those specimens are fantastic. The detail is breath taking. I won't even tell you about the "marginal" specimens I've collected so far. I'm still paying my dues I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamalama Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Beautiful barks. -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...

Plantguy Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Nice specimens! I thought I remember that there was an estimated 100+ different species of Lepidostrobus. Does that sound right? Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn835 Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Those are great With rocks in my head, and fossils in my heart.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommabetts Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Those are beautiful, love all the detail that they have. It wouldn't do for me to live over there, I would have tile made out of some and do all my walls with them. Every time I see them I look at my walls and imagine them all over it. Thanks for sharing.
