3 years, 2 months ago3 years, 2 months ago@rebecca-barnett, @Jim-barkley is correct, it is Pecopteris. I would hold off on putting it in an order though since Pecopteris is a morphogenus and does not belong to a any one group. It is a convergent form. @matthew-gramling is correct in that it could belong to Medullosales however it could also belong to Marattiales.

3 years, 2 months ago3 years, 2 months agoHi @rebecca-barnett. For wood, it’s best to image what would give you a cross section so in this case the top or bottom. However, I think this is a sedimentary rock.

3 years, 2 months ago3 years, 2 months agoHi @rebecca-barnett and @smudge-smith. Where was this collected? Having the site can help narrow the ID because it can tell us what literature to look into if it has already been published. From a quick glance it looks like conifer leaves on a branch like @a-trilobite suggested.

3 years, 7 months ago3 years, 7 months agoTaking a wild guess I’d say the specimen is of the order Medullosales
, but Mackenzie will certainly know more. @rebecca-barnett Could provide the a more precise location of where the specime was found like county or town? It will help with the geochronology data, and thus aid in obtaining an ID -

3 years, 7 months ago3 years, 7 months agoGreetings @rebecca-barnett ! Could you do a closer shot of the bottom left corner of your specimen in the first photo. I see what could be a bryozoan.

3 years, 8 months ago3 years, 8 months agoThis is a very cool concretion @rebecca-barnett. Unfortunately, the photos are too blurry for me to tell if there are any fossils in it! If you could update this post with clearer photos (with a scale) and the location information that would be useful for ID!
