Fossil wood - Inverloch, Victoria
Every time I go to Inverloch to teach (over 30 times!) I find something new to investigate.
This is a piece of fossilised wood. Not so unusual given these rocks are terrestrial basin deposits generally associated with periodic flooding. As a result, they contain a lot of coal and the occasional fossilised tree bit. This one caught Jackson van der Hove's eye because it's got a perfect little wood knot preserved in it. How awesome is that?!
