Auspex Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 They are sedimentary strata resulting from a geological process.

Auspex Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Can't make out much from the pic; is it like parallel ruts? Could it be a fragment of Sigilaria?

Auspex Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I'd label it "plant material".

Guest solius symbiosus Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 If it is Pennsylvanian, and there is no identifiable structure, I usually call it "woody material". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petrified Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 the first pic of the first page is not calamites its bark pattern of Sigillaria. I also found another fossil at my parents and there are alot of these there. At first i wasnt sure but now I am. These are called leaves of cordaites. Definition of a fossil= Love at first site.

Guest solius symbiosus Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 The ridges appear to be too close together to be one of the inner barks of a lycopsid. I'm thinking they had 7 different layers, with each layer becoming less characteristic of the proceeding layer. Where did you get the ID for Sigillaria?

Petrified Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 i got the Id for sigillaria from WV plant fossils. Some of the plant fossils of WV Im finding at my parents land. Im not really understanding this but they are labeled Pennsylvanian Period. heres a better pic of them leaves for ya too. Definition of a fossil= Love at first site.

Guest solius symbiosus Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 That is Cordaites. The Pennsylvanian is a period of Geologic Time. In Europe, it is the Upper Carboniferous. The sandstones that make up the Valley and Ridge province of the Appalachians were deposited during Pennsylvanian time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
