In the siltstone found below the Vales Point Coal and along the cliff line, there are fossil roots of extinct Glossopteris Trees.
The black lines are the septa or walls of the plant’s root.
They have collapsed and would have been partly filled with air.
Remember this is a National Park and you are not allowed to take specimins. Photograph them and leave them for others to see,
This is what they look like in profile, growing down through the ground.
