[QUOTE="Deepseeker, post: 567460, member: 13321"] Great Find Rockhunter62, could it have been a plant from an aquatic environment? It doesn't look like it would have had the structure to support itself in an air environment, maybe a seaweed or freshwater plant that ended up in mudstone or sandstone? Maybe Goldierocks would know? Either way it's a cracker of a find :trophy: Just did a google search though. Is it possible it's a Pseudofossil? There are some very similar examples of Manganese Dendrites that look similar [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil#/media/File:Dendrites01.jpg[/url] [url]https://www.123rf.com/photo_38629138_dendritic-minerals-iron-and-manganese-oxides-on-solnhofen-limestone-upper-jurassic-of-southern-germa.html[/url] [url]https://www.reddit.com/r/fossilid/comments/2hgp6y/fern_like_fossil_in_the_path_rockwork_australia/[/url] Either way, an awesome find :Y: [/QUOTE]
