Mystery plant structure from Eocene Washington

Recommended Posts

Went out to central Washington with some friends yesterday to check out some fossils spots and grab some agates (trip report forthcoming).

 

Found this on Old Blewett Pass near Cle Elum. This is either from the Chuckanut Formation or the associated Swauk Formation, both Eocene. It was found among leaf and palm frond fossils. 

 

Any ideas?

I think, clear views of transverse sections may help a little. :)

I don't have a real camera, so I'm unfortunately limited in the quality of photos I can take.
