Terry Dactyll Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Didranurus....... Your photos starting at the top left.... 1.Asterophyllites 2. Could be Mariopteris? 3. I havent seen that vein pattern on that shape of leaf....possibly....Mariopteris sauveurii? 4. I see Mariopteris and Neuropteris pinnules in this block..... 5. Lycopsid cone tip 7 Sphenophyllum 8. Eusphenopteris No doubt some of my guesses will be wrong so a second opinion is always a good thing..... I would invest in a copy of '' Plant Fossils of the British Coal measures'' by Christopher J. Cleal and barry A. Thomas This will help you with some of your your Id's... ISBN 0-901702-53-6 Cheers Steve... And Welcome if your a New Member...

MOROPUS Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Petals/Flower?Is this last one Eusphenopteris sp.? The first one looks like Annularia Stellata leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docdutronc Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 The first one looks like Annularia Stellata leaves. Hi There are not Annularia stellata leaves , that are more spread out, I think of fragments of Annularia strobus (paleotachya) axes embedded in the rock ,look the plates in Crookhall 1959. bruno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
