15. The fossil tree stumps are common on the platform and appear to be situated in their original location with some fallen logs remained partly attached to stumps in a growth position. The fallen trees have a mutual orientation leaning towards the west.
This has lead to the belief that the forest was overcome by a volcanic eruption some 20km to the east that covered the trees with volcanic ash (tuff). Charred wood and stripped bark occur on the outer surfaces of some stumps and some of the stumps are coalified.
