Fossilized Olive Leaves are Reminder of Prehistoric Volcano on Santorini
-
Hey all, I'm a newbie so HI! I found this object in the Laramie formation in Colorado (approx 70m old). It was by itself, but feet away from a fossil bed. No other pieces were found vertically and it was found below a vegetative strata that is chock full of plant bits.. I mean heavily loaded with plants. There are coal seams in it too. The holes are interesting: is it fossil or pumice? If pumice.. it's nuts because nearest volcano is 200+ miles away (which erupted approx 4,000 yrs ago). The object weighs slight less or same as fossil (roughly), def not heavy like decomposing granite. The black object is the pumice or fossil, an example of the vegetative strata is here too.. light brown with darker patches of plants material. What cha think?

Future fossils being made in Icelandic volcano eruption.
DPS Ammonite posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
See amazing live video of volcano eruption in Iceland. As the flow goes over wet meadows, steam happens. I would imagine that underground creature will be trapped and become fossils in the future. You can rewind it a few hours and see the flow progression, helicopters and scientists probably collecting fresh lava samples. Note at least 5 people next to flow at bottom of detail photo. https://www.ruv.is/frett/2021/03/20/beint-vefstreymi-fra-eldstodvunum On 14:23, March 21st the right wall of the crater collapses send a flow down the side.
