Ancient plant root fossils called Rhizoconcretions. These fossils are the preserved remains of plants that grew on the banks of rivers in the Triassic Period, when the area was a desert.
The fossils are mineralised molds and casts of the ancient root systems, and they show that the landscape was once hot and semi-arid. The presence of these fossils, along with some fish and amphibian remains, indicates that the Otter Sandstone dates back to the Middle Triassic
