Hi all
I've posted another pic to the miscellaneous album. Those legs are
mine above a section of Jurassic log, possibly a once 30m tall
araucariad. If this log can be saved from pilfering several tonnes
will be excavated by machine and sections re-assembled at the Hobart
Museum.

This site near Southport Lagoon, Tasmania has a lot of silicified
material just lying on the surface, including araucariad wood and
red-blue agate nodules with crystal vugs. There are fronds and rarely
cones of cycads. Shale horizons have leaf impressions.

If this log makes it to civilisation I'll get pix of the excavation
and its eventual display in the city.
