This has to be one of the strangest paleobotanicals i've ever laid eyes on. The material has been replaced by siderite or some other iron type stuff=iron wood! It has been looked at by one Paleobotanist and one Geologist,neither had saw something like this before, and i was told there was a possibility it could be a new species of some type! It's still unidentified. The preservation is nothing short of remarkable....this specimen is so incredibly life like, that one would almost expect it to start moving in your hand! All the internal parts can still be viewed, even veins! Strange....you almost expect a heart to start beating in it! :D was collected in 2013 from a Late Cretaceous Campanian formation. The outside surface has many holes in a regular pattern which lead to internal parts.
