docdutronc Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Hi my friends here is a personal drawing who synthesized all data on the findings about morphogenus Asolanus, I represented the fertile part of the stem and the leaves : Sigillariodes radicans Lesquereux, of course this reconstruction are hypothetical because of the rarity of some remains of this plant belonging to lycophytes. best regards Bruno Edited June 6, 2012 by docdutronc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Your drawing is brilliant, Bruno; I can easily imagine the species in a living context by it. Thank you!

Malcolmt Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Very nice drawing.... a talent of which I am very lacking..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docdutronc Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 In France , we say that a picture is always more telling, it's been awhile since I wanted to draw this plant, thank you for your comment best regards Bruno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolmt Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Yes I still like to look at ink drawings in the Invertebrate treastes. I find it generally easier to decide what my fossil is comparing to a line drawing than a photograph. Whittington made the same comments relating to the Burgess shale material that he had to do drawings because it made the photgraphs far more interpretable.

docdutronc Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Hi my friends Asolanus from Asturia ( Spain ) best regards Bruno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Dactyll Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Bruno... Another rare addition to your collection which must be getting huge now... the specimen showing lots of surface detail perhaps not preserved in coarser shales...Well done... Cheers Steve...

docdutronc Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 Hi Steve glad to see you here, yes indeed my collection is impressive since it was enriched with specimens of Spain best regards Bruno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astron Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Bruno, It's a always a pleasure seeing your posts, Bruno. Especially your drawing is perfect and everything would be much nicer if at least sometimes we could do something analogue.... Superb your last specimen, as well. The details are amazing...

Plantguy Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Hi my friends another sample from Liévin basin ,who shows adherent leaves ..... best regards Bruno Hi my friends another sample from Liévin basin ,who shows adherent leaves ..... best regards Bruno Hi Bruno, yes, what gorgeous detail and line drawings as well! The leaf detail is really quite nice to see....So my brain is working on these photos---thats dangerous as usual ...Anyways, in the case of the top reddish specimens/photos, the areas that do not have the leaves or raised leaf attachments are actually closer to the younger top of the plant and the areas lacking leaves and having smoother non-raised attachments are probably closer to the older base of the plant---does all of this jibberish make sense? It just dawned on me its kind of the same in geologic terms...really old mountain ranges experiencing no more tectonic uplift tend to be erroded and well worn and the younger ranges still experiencing uplift are sharper and well defined. Appalachians of the US vs the Himalayans.... Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docdutronc Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) Here is a dubful sample ,close to Asolanus genus ??? you can see two circular structures which are probably detached sporophylls....
