Montana Moss Picker Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Need help identifying what I'm guessing is Fossilized tree bark I found On banks of Yellowstone River. Erosion this year is nuts. More just this spring than I've seen in 33 years of Spring flood erosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I think tree bark is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I'm not seeing any symmetry to point to a fossil. I think this is some sort of sedimentary feature.

abyssunder Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 It looks mineral, to me.
