What’s the second photo? Scale tree?

Greetings @jason-weyland ! Nice finds ! Did you collect these from the Crab Orchard Mtn Formation? And the second does look like a Lepidodendron specimen l. @cameron-muskelly should be able to confirm.

Nice! I was just at the Durham Fossil Site with a small Facebook group I lead earlier this month. Had a great time and found some great stuff, but no scale trees…yet lol. We also found tons of Calamities/Cordaites. Looking forward to May when turkey season is over and Lula reopens the site.
-
Also, cool tip…you can do some limited collecting in the Chattahoochee National Forest near Summerville. Lots of Silurian brachiopods in the Armuchee Ridges.
-
Thanks for the tip! @jason-weyland Check Mack White Gap near Gore. They have great Silurian to Devonian fossils there.
-
We’ll have to check that one out. Do you know of any good places to find trilobites or cephalopods?
-
Also, just contact Patrick Kelly at Lula come May and I’m sure you can get the permissions easy. He’s pretty amiable.
-
@jason-weyland None that haven’t been shutdown by the county government.
-
These are really great specimens. I am no plant guy but it does resemble Lepidodendron . I have only found 2 pieces at the Durham fossil site.

3 years ago3 years ago@matthew-gramling it looks like it was in the Fort Payne Chert formation at the base of Pigeon Mountain. You definitely know more than me, but I’m not quite convinced this one is a bryozoan.

Do you know the age of the rocks you found this in? It has some strong resemblance to some of the earliest vascular land plants, which are fairly rare and valuable fossils. I’m not certain of this though, @matthew-gramling may be able to help too. If you could post more pictures with objects for scale like a ruler/tape measure/coin ect.
-
Greetings @jason-wayland ! Do you have any information on where your specimen was collected? It can help provide an ID.
-
Thanks for tagging me @a-trilobite ! Seems we had the same thought at the same time.

@mackenzie-smith would be a better person to consult.

@jason-weyland Nice to meet another NW GA fossil collector like myself! If you collected this in the immediate environs around Chickamauga then there is a good chance this is not a plant fossil after all. Most of the strata around Chickamauga is from the Ordivician, so it’s possibly a bryozoan. I’ll do some more research to see if I can pin down…[Read more]
-
The strata around Chickamauga is Knox Group, Newala Limestone, and Chickamauga Group.

-

-
@jason-weyland There is a possibility it’s a Mississippian marine plant, which have been found in similar strata like the Floyd Shale.
-
Sphenopteris is our guess for what this one is now.
-
@matthew-gramling @jason-weyland It’s anyone’s guess. It’s not Sphenopteris though, that is fern-ier. It will largely come down to the age of the rock. There does seem to be a lot of branching for an early land plant although we don’t know a lot about the gametophyte generation of many early plants. Algae go beyond my expertise and I don’t know of…[Read more]

Thank you @mackenzie-smith ! According to jason, this specimen was collected in the Mississippian Fort Payne Formation. I have looked for literature on flora from that Formation, but found nothing.
