 Palmoxylon Cenozoic; Paleogene; Oligocene Catahoula Formation Louisiana, USA 14 cm x 12 cm x 7 cm tall The Shreveport Collection |
This chunk of Palmoxylon must have come from a big tree as the vascular bundles are very large. The specimen exhibits a wide range of colors. The first three images were taken with a Canon PowerShot SD770 IS Digital ELPH 10.0 MEGA PIXELS, cropped and resized in Adobe Photoshop CS6. The images were taken in sunlight outside. |

The next four images were taken at 150x with a Dino-Lite AD7013 MT 5.0 MP. Images were resized in Adobe Photoshop CS6. In the first image we can see the ladder-like scalariform perforation plate in one of the vessels. |
