As today is Earth Day I thought I would post a photo of a rock that we found on our property that has an impression of part of a plant that was quite common in the Carboniferous era some 300 to 360 million years past.
I don't know the specific plant species that left this impression although it seems to fit the LYCOSPIDA family.
We have found a number of rocks that show similar impressions but often just a small section rather than this one which is just on 20cm in length.
