Bobby Rico Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 Thanks Adam @Tidgy's Dad I really appreciate all your kind comments. I run out of plant fossil now thanks @-Andy- the seeds from Sheepy are my favourites and the wood with wood worm. Cheers Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More to come Lovely pieces, Bobby - I think this one might be Coniopteris. (I love the Sheppey seeds too. ) 4 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually there was one more piece of flora in the package - the heaviest slab was with Jurassic plants from Poland - a kind of grass (they are called Czekanowskia rigida).

Yeah it is really cool but it got damaged in transit. It is very fragile and needs stabilising before I add it to my collection. When I am up for it I sort it out. Very fragile piece.

It is mudstone, so indeed it is super breakable- only the large pieces survived transport and when they did, I soaked them in shellac. If the piece is damaged beyond repair, let me know, I still have one more at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will sort out soon it will be fine. Thank you my freind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Wow! I love the Asterophyllites, and the Calamites near the top of the page, too! The more modern leaves are very nice as well! I used to go collecting on the spoil tips of Kilmersdon back in the '80s . Expect it's all been landscaped now. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

There is some great fossil spots in Somerset. I don’t know Kilmersdon myself but it is always sad to lose sites of interest. Have you still got any examples of Kilmersdon fossils ? cheers my friend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get round to sorting them out when I do my "Adam's Upper Carboniferous" in about 2025, i should think. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.
