Fossildude19 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 According to this geologic map of NM, the area around Las Cruces is Neogene aged sedimentary rocks. Could be a piece of plant - looks carbonized.

Fossildude19 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Basically, it is part of the fossilization process that can affect plants and some animals/insects. See HERE for more detail.
