Fossil hunt yesterday

[fossis]

I took a trip to Arkansas yesterday to hunt my (Old Stomping Grounds), the area has been mostly 'reclaimed', & they will plant pine trees later on.
But there are a few 'spoil piles' left, & after some rain & erosion, I usually find a few fossils.
I found several (Stigmaria roots), & a few ferns, the last one shown, I 'clear coated' to bring out more detail.
I only brought home two of the roots, leaving the rest to let my friends find some.
The 'dimples' in the roots had little 'rootlets' coming out of them, I have seen them in large rocks, they looked almost like an x-ray.

Yes nice plants! I am guessing you were north in the state?
I lived south of Hot Springs and hoping to return there when
it warms up a bit with a friend to check out an area.

Did you treat the plant with something to make it stand out like that?

Thanks, I have guided the Dallas-Ft. Worth Palentology club to this area on two occasions, they always found
lots of fossils.

Great stuff, fossis, the ferns would rival some of the stuff I have seen and own from Mason Creek...

Great photos. Looks like perfect weather (good contrast) to find some nice fossils.

Thanks, the weather was in the 50's, then the whole country turned to winter.

Wow, those are cool! There's just not a lot of fossils in my part of the country. Or I just haven't started finding them yet. Thanks for the pics.
