Fossil tree - Inverloch, Victoria

Cliff panorama showing a fossilised tree stump in-situ in the center left.

Close up of the tree showing bedding of sands above and below it. All beds tilt approximately 10 degrees to the East.

Zoom in of the stump showing the roots still twining through the now lithified sediments. Floods can do some amazing things and it's pretty awesome that this tree has been preserved like this!
