Auspex Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Wow! The structure at the base of the rootlet in cross section!

Shamalama Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Very nice relief on that last specimen. Excellent structure shown as well. It's interesting to note how primitive these trees were that it's basically the same pattern on the above ground bark and below ground roots where the plants then put out their specialized branches. -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...
