Part of the fun working in western Queensland is the abundance of fossils we find while surveying.
In the centre of the image is a large up right piece of petrified wood on a brown gravelly surface. Below it is a scale card measuring the chunk as about 12cm wide and ~30cm long.Petrified tree trunk coming out of the ground.The fossilised imprint of a fern or maybe conifer seed in a piece of rock held in a persons hand.
