RomanK Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 A couple years ago I found the site with a lot of annularia prints. That time I was so bad collector that took nothing with me just made some shots. Next that place visit I found there nothing cause all that rocks were covered by earth and construction waste. I saved only pictures. 1. Annuliaria reconstruction from Internet. 2-5. Shoted Annuliaria prints.

Plantguy Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Nice specimens RomanK. Yes, its troubling to see nice sites get covered up...I know of quite a few that I used to visit that I didnt fully appreciate at the time and are no longer available. Thanks for the posting.

fig rocks Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Those look like nice specimens Roman. It's a shame you didn't take any home with you when you had the chance. A lesson learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamalama Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Nice fossils and too bad about not collecting any for yourself! The pic you found is nice too, it shows a Sphenophyllum on the left hand side. Great composite drawing to show many different species and how they related to each other. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

Phoenixflood Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Is annuliaria a common fossil plant? Just curious The soul of a Fossil Hunter is one that is seeking, always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Dactyll Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 RomanK..... Nice photos all the same, and well worth taking...

RomanK Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Is annuliaria a common fossil plant? Just curious Yes, annularia is a common fossil and associated with calamites (horstail). Really these are the thin branches grew around the stem from calamites nodes. Annularia has specific like star shape.

zoup Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Hi Romank. Those are some very nice Annullaria. You at least got to capture them with your camera and touch them with your hands. Clear skies and good hunting to you..Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefootgirl Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Its good to see you got some picts at least. Im with worthy the plant material is getting more interesting. In formal logic, a contradiction is the signal of defeat: but in the evolution of real knowledge, it marks the first step in progress toward victory.

Nicholas Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Sometimes some snap shots are just as good in a case where you could not collect. Although it is a bummer that you couldn't retrieve them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
