I actually found this several years ago, around the time I started collecting, and always assumed it was a type of Calamites. However, I recently noticed that Cordaites leaves (such as this example) have a very similar appearance. I wouldn't have expected it to have been preserved so... cylindrically though? Roughly 1.5" wide. Thoughts?

Appears to be several clustered together. I was thinking that it could be the base of the plant, where several stems branched off a shared rhizome (as seen in figure a). Thoughts?

I was told in a group that it was an eroded garnet schist, and I did find a couple other examples online that looked similar. However, it looks more sedimentary than metamorphic to me. I also posted it on a mineral forum where they suggested that it could also be iron nodules in sandstone or a bark fossil. What's your take?
