New Members NCHOME Posted April 11, 2022 Author New Members Share Posted April 11, 2022 Museum contact in Fla. replied: Our paleobotanist states “To me they look like the underground stem and nodules of horsetail, Equisteum.” That is all we can do here. Perhaps your next step is to find a specialist in Paleozoic plant fossils. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plax Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Googling Equisetum root system certainly does show some similarity. I guess an expert in early Mesozoic plants would be as good a a Paleozoic plant expert. Calamites are horsetail like plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mesozoic would be the way to go, as I'm pretty sure this is Triassic in age. Unfortunately, I just discovered my one Triassic paleobotanist contact had passed away nearly 2 years ago. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

The OP hasn't been back on the forum in over 2 years, so I don't know if you'll receive a response from him. Fin Lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
