Man I want to see the slabs too. Were I to find a specimen that looked like that, I'd think it was the palm section where the roots meet the fiber of the trunk. The top of the palm onion. Looks like definite vascular bundles (palm fiber) showing in the third pic. What we used to call palm bog in California was sort of fossil mud and plant detritus with a few palm roots running through it. Your example looks much better.....Mel

Here's a 90 pound ball of palm bog my wife found behind the Yermo dump in Califonia. Peeing on a rock must make the colors show up *L* cause that's how she found it. Mostly just a big red and white agate ball with roots running through it. Excuse the bird crap. The cardinals like to use this rock as a perch because it's by the birdbath. Showing a few of the roots running through it: Cross section of a 3/4 inch root in the agate:
