Dendrites

Dendrites (Pseudofossils) look as though they are plant fossils of some kind, as they have a branched, fern or tree-like appearance, and occur in sedimentary rock. They are actually crystalline growths, often of the manganese mineral pyrolusite. Crystals of various other minerals can also, with a little imagination, be confused with fossils.
