Wrangellian Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Hi Astrinos, Congrats on the pufferfish ID! And I like the results now that you are breaking open the concretions! Many of them just look like bits of wood to me but you also get unusual/odd things, for example the one on the left in pic1 of post #627, it looks so strange, it's got to be something interesting but I have no idea what. Keep up the good work! Also the mineral specimen you posted is very nice.. I wonder if the whitish blade-like crystals are barite? They look similar to ones I have.

Thank you so much for the encouraging comments Supposingly you are talking about the post 637 (instead of 627). Actually strange. It was necessary me to increase the light on it (as it happens with the similar item on the second pic of the same post) in order the deeply black carbonization to be better visible. About the whitish blade like crystals of the mineral specimen presented on post 616, I think it's about sulphur. This mineral is quite common in this area in several shapes. It smells characteristically and I have burned some alike ''blades'' of a disarticulated item. If not badly smells, it would be a good alternative into this terrible economical crisis Edited November 20, 2011 by astron Astrinos P.

Wrangellian Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 No I meant post 627, but I mis-spoke and should have said: the concretion on the left in the pic on the Right. Sort of a 3D blob-like thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astron Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 Here are 3 cupressaceae cones, the first one in two pics. This is the first time I find some tiny seeds inside them.

astron Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) The day closes a pic I like.

paco Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Congrats on your MOTM award, it's been a while I haven't visited FF...

astron Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Hello all. I'll present today and the days after the leaves I have found recently. At first 3 acer sp. leaves. Astrinos P. Damianakis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astron Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Four willow salix sp. leaves. The first bears an insect gal and the third is nailed by a pinus sp. leaf (needle). Astrinos P. Damianakis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astron Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) The day's last is the second set of three laurus sp. leaves. The first one is accompanied by an interesting little fossil (upwards) better shown in the close up on the pic 2. I agree with Paco's aspect it's pobably about an insect larva and not a seed.(thanks my friend). Edited November 30, 2011 by astron Astrinos P.
