Fossil shown is actually 6 inch wide, and found on the beach.

Identification is again different to the other two pieces, because this piece of wood has been fossilised again differently. Specimen came from a very iron rich environment, and is made up mainly of Hematite and Siderite.

This is much heavier than the previous two specimens in this section, due two the iron rich environment this specimen came from

Visible wood effect on specimen shows its origins, and makes a good display piece.
