Hi Paul, List,

That's cool! I've never seen one of those. It looks very similar and I
guess it can't be counted out. The area I found it in is mostly
volcanic basalt and I've never found a fossil of any sort, let alone a
rare plant fossil. Sure looks similar though, perhaps transplanted by
Native Americans or early travelers.

Thanks for the input!

Sincerely,
Larry Atkins

I don?t think that is a meteorite. But the ?flow? lines looked puzzling
until I remembered my experience with finding fossilized fruits
on the Queen Charlotte Islands in BC. Canada

I think it is a fossilized fruit of some sort.
