P026Pt, "Psaronius helmintholithus" from the type locality of Scolecopteris near Freital, detail

Compressed Psaronius trunks in silicified peat as they are typical for the Freital site are
also seen on several samples assigned by HEINRICH COTTA to Ruedigsdorf. If the suspicion
is confirmed that the questionable samples from COTTAīs collection are really from
elsewhere, the list of Ruedigsdorf fossils has to be greatly reduced.
