N.Mckenzie Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) Found in Central Auckland, heavily volcanic area. Have found volcanic bombs, glass etc in same place. This looks like a root mass to me but I've never seen its like before. Trace petrification? Is that even a thing? Thanks in advance!

Randyw Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Ok I’m probably wrong but you mentioned volcanic activity. There used to be a guy on utube who would pour molten metal into ant hills or termite colonies etc and then dig them out and sell them. And what he dug out looked a lot similar to that.. could it be some kind of molten material that flowed into a insect colony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Mckenzie Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 That makes a lot of sense, it displays the same characteristics as trace fossils. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
