Rowe Coal (Carboniferous to of the United States)

Also known as Drywood Fm (Henry and Cedar Counties., Missouri)

Where: Missouri (38.0° N, 93.0° W: paleocoordinates 10.9° S, 33.7° W)

When: Drywood Formation (Cherokee Group), Carboniferous to Carboniferous (358.9 - 306.0 Ma)

• These plants came from the Drywood Formation overlying in the Rowe Coal, not including the Drywood Coal, which lies at the top of the Drywood Formation (i.e., these plants came from all parts of the Drywood Formation except the coal). They came from six locations in two adjacent counties in Missouri - there are no lists for individual collecting localities.

• formation-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: mire or swamp; lithified coal

Size class: macrofossils

Preservation: cast, mold/impression, adpression

Collection methods: quarrying, surface (float), surface (in situ),

Primary reference: P. W. Basson. 1968. The fossil flora of the Drywood Formation of southwestern Missouri. University of Missouri Studies, Columbia, MO USA 44 [H. Sims/S. Ostrowski]more details

Purpose of describing collection: taxonomic analysis
