Title
fossilised wood
Description
English: Possibly a piece of petrified wood, but more probably petrified conifer bark. One face shows signs of wear rather than weathering and it is possible that the object may have been used architecturally or culturally during the Roman occupation. Petrified conifer bark does rather suggest other fossilised conifer products, for instance amber. On the other hand its presence near a Roman settlement might well be a complete coincidence.

Measures 37mm in length, 20mm in width, 18mm in thickness and weighs 20.4g.
Depicted place (County of findspot) Shropshire
Date between 40 and 410
