Hi, Folks.
Found this Stigmaria yesterday in a fresh fall, nothing terribly unusual there, until I got it home and found that it matched with this other bit, found a couple of years ago.
Strange to find it so long after the initial find( though not in geological terms, I knowWink)
Cheers,
Andrew

What are the chances, eh? (obviosly a rhetorical question - I'm not looking for a probabilistic algorithm).

Nicely done, Andrew! Thumbs Up
