Greetings

I've uploaded to the Miscellaneous photo album a picture of an
excavator removing the stump of a Jurassic tree, species unknown but
perhaps a Wollemia ancestor. It will be araldited back together at
Hobart Museum; interestingly some lateral roots are transparent and
brown like smokey quartz. More on that when it happens.

This weekend I'm going to Zeehan Gem Show with some others to look for
mainly Cambrian trilobites associated with abandoned mines. If I don't
disappear that could be yet another story.

Regards
John in Tassie
