astron Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 On my next posts I will try a presentation of some seeds or flowers or flowerheads more to the few ones already presented with the relative leaves. Despite to my severe efforts I didn't succeed to have them ided. So, any aspects on this thread are thankfully accepted and well appreciated. First of all a trigonocarpus like seed, one of my favorite fossils. If I hadn't found the stem intact, I wouldn't include it in my collection. This ensures me it's a seed. Astrinos P.

astron Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Here is another seed with the external and the internal parts well preserved. Astrinos P. Damianakis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astron Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Here is a seed same in shape and size to the previous one without its external parts. Astrinos P. Damianakis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astron Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) Here are five seeds or flowers. The first one is a samara, an elm tree (ulmus sp) seed. (Thanks Eric) Edited December 12, 2012 by astron Astrinos P. Damianakis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astron Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) I have difficulties with this presentation and I am not sure at all if I have got it understandable... Difficult things... Pic 6: The original slab. Pics 5, 4: The slab divided in two. Pics 3, 2: The first half of the slab divided hotizontally. Pic 1. The second half of the slab divided vertically. This pic shows well the thickness of the carbonized part of the fossil. It bears also a wood like structure but its maybe a concretion (???) becouse I haven't observed it everywhere else in the matrix. And a more difficulty! I tried 3 times with no result the normal row... but the pics insist on a reverse row display. Edited May 4, 2011 by astron Astrinos P.

astron Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 These are three flowerheads (?) with some similarities. Astrinos P. Damianakis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astron Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) And the last at this time odd somehow thing. I have examined it many times on hands and in magnification... I would describe it as an absolutely round thing with clear borders, cracked by a double thunder-bolt... Almost the half of the counterpart is saved. Edited May 4, 2011 by astron Astrinos P.

astron Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) One more comes last time with the prep just finished. Another difficult presentation. The fossil is like a sand - glass in shape with deep funnels in both sides. I think it's a cupressaceae or pinus sp seed or seed section. Edit: It's about a fish verebra, of course! Thanks for the correction, Chas... Edited December 11, 2012 by astron Astrinos P. Damianakis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
