I'd say carbonaceous plant remains imprint:

Hello, I am a new member here. I love the outdoors and spend much of my off duty hours in it. A few days ago I was hiking on top of the White Cliffs near Orderville Utah 20 miles east of Zion Nat Park, the White Cliffs are part of the Grand Staircase Nat Monument. I found this sandstone slab with the unusual imprint on it shown in the picture I took. The slab was 3 feet wide and tall and the round dips were about 2 inches wide and very uniform as it looks.

Any idea's what formed this? In all my years hiking around this area I have never seen this before.
