sharklover Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hello Last week I'm going with a friend to an old mine dump near Brunssum in Holland ,where you can find Carboniferous plant fossils,and when you have luck very rare animal prints. Here some pictures of me finds. The names ,I have no idea. Maybe someone can help.? While plant fossils have not my main interest, most of them i can trade.

barefootgirl Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I would love to find stuff like that. Cool for you!

Plantguy Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Awesome stuff......Looks like a Stigmaria (root with small circular rootlet scars) , Calamites (longitudinally ribbed and grooved compressions of the pith of the plant) and lots of Lepidodendron material (diamond shaped scalelike leaf cushion impressions) amongst the other ferns....Really Super! Thanks for posting. Will wait for the resident expert docdutronc for comments/and the actual specifics. Best Regards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandit235 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I think five, eleven, and twelve are Lepidodendrons (scale trees). I not a 100% sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracer Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 yeah, i gotta go read up on gollywanda and pangolingea some more and figure out how these continents were connected back when ya'll fossils hung out together back when they wuzn't on opzit side of the marble. you get my drift?

FossilDAWG Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Wow, what a blast from the past! I lived near Brunssum when I was 11-12, in fact I went to school there. There was (maybe still is) a big NATO base there, where my father was stationed for a couple of years. I used to go out at lunch and collect plant fossils, maybe from that same tailings dump. I still have a couple of trays of fossils from there I've been carting around for 40 years. Thanks for the photos, they bring back memories.

FossilDAWG Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Second row down, third photo from the left, the fern is Alethopteris. Bottom row, middle 2 (same specimen), the fern may be Mariopteris. Several Lepidodendron specimens as well, and at least one Calamites, as others have noted.

Guest solius symbiosus Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Nice stuff! I plan to hit some Pennsylvanian outcrops this year... if the leg heals. yeah, i gotta go read up on gollywanda and pangolingea some more and figure out how these continents were connected back when ya'll fossils hung out together back when they wuzn't on opzit side of the marble. you get my drift?
