we've aften seen this  buckhorn shape stuff a lot . cannot help asking what it might be, branch or root of some genus.

it is Later-Carboniferous-Early Permian stratum.

the scale is cm-mm.

This is a tough one. I can see why one would see plant or root like shapes, but I believe a more comprehensive evaluation of all the features is in order to rule out traces left by some faunal element.

Possibly Dicranophyllum, maybe...

Thanks, it looks very similar to some Dicranophyllum figures I found online. But could not imagine how a thin, long leave  bifurcated multiple times can stand up.
