I'm not sure you could qualify that as a bush, as I see no recognizable foliage. 

I see the 3 branch like items, but the rest looks like mineral staining and depositional features. :unsure:

Ray Charles could make out some leaves on that picture your not looking at it in person though.

I don't think so, Thomas.  :unsure: 

Just looks like plant rachis or branch,  to me.

Can you please show us where?
A see a nice but typical layer of what I call 'paleo mulch', a jumbled association of bits and fragments.
