Term needed

Recommended Posts

The other day I saw a term used that i forgot to write down and can't find again.

HINTS:

1. It described "wishfull" seeing i.e. seeing something (a fossil) in a rock that wasn't there but was suggested by cracks, lines, or structures in the rock.

2. it started with p----- 

3. It was in the ID section, as I recall.

 

Any help would be appreciated.
