Fossildude19 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 The day closes a pic I like. I was impressed finding these two cupressaceae family items in the shadow of a recent cupressaceae tree. They are of the genus thujia sp. (thanks a lot Scott for the genus id) Astrinos, I like this picture - it shows both modern and fossil, and your artistic flair! The Cupressaceae are similar to the Brachyphyllum I find here in the States! They are among my favorite plant material finds as well. Thank you for the continuing views of your Cretan Fossil Museum!

Thank you so much, my friend, for this important observation NO, I haven't. Simply, the seeds variety is endless and they are of all of the shapes. So, it didn't come to my mind anything different than a seed. Paying it the appropriate attention, I think your aspect is very probable Attached is a better close up of it hopefuly helpful. Thanks a lot again I am making an edit... Edited November 30, 2011 by astron Astrinos P. Damianakis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astron Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Last for today is a strange fossil I don't know what it is. I am thinking it could be a liliaceae juvenile stem with the flowerhead in their primitive stage??? But not sure at all... Any help with this would be appreciated... Astrinos P.
