Dear colleagues,

In sods that had been used to build a late medieval dike in the western Netherlands I found the attached plant remains (overview, cross sections and squash of central part with thick-walled cells.
Does anyone of you know which species has such appendages? A brackish or marine environment is possible.

best wishes,
Bas
