Zoom and enhance! Here's quite an interesting fossil from a deep water Miocene area. It appears to be some plant material which resembles a conifer cone. You can make out what looks like some cell structure at 40x zoom, thanks to @paleo_craig for spotting it. The current theory is that there is a thin layer of carbon material left underneath some infill which has preserved the cell structure 🤩 This is the first potentially terrestrial plant material I have found at this site. Swipe to zoom out.
