Auspex Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Very interesting; I will watch this thread for a solution!

It comes from the wetsphaliensean of Leon province; Northwest Spain Your specimen may be has not full shape leaves if it's plant. My guess it looks like Pecopteris.

MOROPUS Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 Those are very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/quote I know Pecopteris, Could it be P. Arborescens? I was thinking of that, but not sure...; I`ve got some from the same formation, and quite rather rare, like Nemejcopteris Feminaeformis, Asterophillytes Equisetiformis or Annularia Sphenophylloides. It is a black or dark grey hard rock slab from the Carboniferous mine valleys of Leon (NW Spain). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
