The bed of argillaceous sand- fi', nine feet in thickness, v,hich enclosed this tree, contains a i\v. ''er of erect plants (Fig. 34). Three erect trees in the form of sandstone casts and erect Calamites were observed in it, with many Stigmaria roots. There was also a tree not in the form of a cast, but of a mass of coaly fragments surrounded by a broken and partly crushed cylinder of bark; the whole being evidently the remains of a trunk which has been reduced to little more than a pile of decayed Fig. 34.âSection of middle part of Sitbdirison XV. in which the Dendrerpeton, Lnnd Shells, etc., hare 1.
