rmf - "fossil frond" - Manganeze Hydroxide dendrite
What looks like a fossil frond of something, probably seaweed, as this is in, I think limestone. Spotted in a garden.
[sorry, but I would not have used that paviour in a walkway zone]

E2A - it's not actually a fossil, I've been misled by the shape ... It is Manganese Hydroxide dendrite.

Dear stoneroad,a very interesting find you show us. But I cannot follow your interpretation. I´m sure, (100%) it is a manganese mineralisation, not a fossil. In geology it is called Manganese hydroxide dendrite. Best regards, Karsten

Thank You, Roger.

I only spotted it because I was watching a bumble bee walking across the stones.

Hi Sara,

I remember finding some of these, and was excited until the geology professor explained that the rocks were formed long before the plants!
Just as you say!!

Best Wishes and keep safe
Peter
