Re: [Geology2] Strange sandstone formation

Hi,
I doubt it's kind of fossiliferous plant-remains (Lepidodendron etc.) of Carboniferous age ,
I argue the possibility of being a consolidated bees nest full of sand from a surrounding Quaternary remains??

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.
