(DOUBLE-SIDED EXAMPLE)
An example of branching 'dendritic' minerals which resemble fossilised plants

A dendrite is a mineral that develops with a multi-branching, tree-like form. The patterns are often mistaken for fossil plants. This classic example from Germany consists of an incrustation of iron and manganese minerals along joints in fine-grained limestone.
