This is a specimen from Luoping, Yunnan Province of China.  Triassic.  It looks like a conifer.  Is it a plant fossil ?  Plant fossils are rarely found in the Triassic formation there.

My amateur take is that this represents displacement, puckering, of sediment beds as a result of subsidence.

Sedimentary structure was my first thought.
