jeremyh Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Okay I recovered this from a site where I found a bunch of calamites! All I can say is that it is from the Carboniforous period and was found in some North Pennsylvanian shale, sorry wont say where yet. There is four of these objects on the matrix the one which is fully visable is the shape of an apple seed. They are about 1/4 of an inch wide and maybe 3/8s long. There is also two calamites on this matrix, I hope these pics help y'all cuz they are the best I got. Well good luck, and let me know what I got.

Auspex Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 A bract is a "cone scale" from Lepidostrobus or something like it.

RCFossils Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 It appears to me to be a piece of lycopod bark. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 It appears to me to be a piece of lycopod bark. Rob Rob, I think you're right. Repetitive pattern. It's not four little things, it's a small piece of a big thing.

Shamalama Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I agree, Lepidodendron bark, small section. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
