Located on a Isle of Mull, Scotland, and detected by John MacCulloch in 1811, MacCulloch’s tree is a fossilised expel of a Cupressinoxylon (coniferous)tree. It stands unapproachable during over 12m high and 1m far-reaching in collumnar bassalt and is believed to have been partial of a Palaeogene forrest that was engulfed in lava 60 million years ago, from a Palaeogene Mull Volcanic Centre- volcanics compared with a opening of a Northern Atlantic Ocean.
The expel includes charcoal, and some woody stays as good as ash, sand andvolcanic debris, though unfortunately pledge collectors have all though striped a site unclothed of woody stays given a tree was discovered.
