Kasia Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Hello, I visited a few days ago the Habarana Eco Park in Sri Lanka and at the viewpoint, there were some really strange rocks that looked like they contained pieces of fossilised wood - the location of the view point (I guess) shown on Google maps: The rocks in situ look like on pictures WA0 to 03. Here are the close-ups of a few pieces: Is it fossilised wood? Kasia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Ammonite Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 It looks like a silicic pegmatite with large crystals; an intrusive igneous rock. 1 2 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

Agree it's an intrusive igneous rock. WIthout a better scale, I can't be sure what the dark crystals are. Could be hornblende or schorl. 1 My Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
