Petrified trees on the Black Sea beach.
Recently, articles have appeared that in ancient times there could be biological life based on the element silicon. The article "There are no forests on Earth!" Made a lot of noise, initially it did not impress me, but the information sat down on the subcortex and was just waiting in the wings.
And once, walking along the Black Sea beach, in the area of Tuapse, I noticed large rectangular stones with sharp edges. There were large boulders here before, and I was looking at some deposits. But now new ones have been added to these stones and they look like fragments of the trunks of ordinary large trees. After taking a photo, video shooting, I began to "shovel" the Internet for similar shapes of trunks, both in living modern nature and in fossilized species.

Ancient plants are symbionts in the body of the trunk.
Ancient ivy, climbing plants.
Looking through photos of these strange stones, I thought: Why are they in the shape of irregular bricks? After all, if these are trees, then, then, the trunks should be rounded. Maybe these are fragments of some very large tree? And I began to compare my findings with the view of the largest trees: baobab, Mexican taxodia, eucalyptus, but in vain. Then I began to look at the fossilized forms of trees, lymphoids and also did not find a match.
African baobab.

Fossils in loose rock.
During the study, it became clear that the fossil data fell from the slope, where they were buried in a thick layer of loose sedimentary rock. The fossils were of different shades: blue-gray, brown, gray-black, reddish, pinkish, as if they belonged to different layers of “something”.
On many of the stone-trunks, formations in the form of coiled rings are noticeable, at first I thought they were fossil annelids. But after taking a closer look at the cut of the stone with these formations and how this creature was attached to the carrier-trunk, I came to the conclusion that this is an analogue of our ivy.

Comparison of ancient ivy with modern.
In addition to ivy and climbing plants on the "trunks" there are fossilized woody mushrooms, very similar to modern ones.
Fossilized woody growths or woody fungi.

Several times, after looking at my notes, I realized that the tree trunks on the beach originally had a rectangular cross-section, because they were part of what we now call "coastal fleece".
A tree flysch layer.
Coastal Fleece at Cape Kadosh.
According to Wikipedia, flysch (Swiss dialect Flysch, from German fliessen - "flow") is a series of marine sedimentary rocks that are predominantly clastic in origin and are characterized by the alternation of several lithological layers. Regardless of the mineralogical composition of these layers, their granulometric composition decreases up the section. The total capacity of such series, as a rule, is several thousand meters.
Kiseleva Rock is a coastal flysch.
Then what is Kiselev rock? After all, it is part of that same coastal flysch? Many of the "alternatives" believe that this is a stump, a remnant of a larger tree. And according to my version - not a stump. What then? This … hold on to the chairs tighter - Bush. Rather, a tree-like shrub, or rather, a pitiful fragment of it.
As you can see, from the cliff, at sea level, stone ridges diverge in parallel rows, which once formed a single whole with the rock and then connected with ridges along the coast. So, all this coastal flysch and the one that forms the mountains more continental - this is all a giant Shrub. Those. the world of the planet Pandora from the movie "Avatar" existed on Earth, and the stones that we examined on the beach are just a thin bark of these bushes. It turns out that the entire coastal and mountain flysch is some kind of ancient tree-like plant. Many questions immediately arose, and some of them disappeared when I just looked at the section of the tree.
Section of a tree.
Let's compare the structure of flysch fragments with the structure of a regular tree. Let's take a longitudinal section of a tree trunk. Here you can clearly see the bark of a tree, cambium, bast, wood, core. Now let's look at histological sections of wood and rock.

Stem section.
In our rocky histological example, the structure of successively repeated layers is clearly visible. The more powerful layer is, perhaps, the tracheids, the conducting elements, and the less powerful layer is the parenchyma, which replaces the elements. Where, then, is the core? - probably in the body of a mountain bush.
Many of you have seen how wood is dissolved on boards, thus generating waste: wood pieces, sawdust, shavings. And now you come to the Black Sea beach and you see pebbles of different sizes and colors, these are shavings and sawdust of those ancient bushes or trees about which we know very little.
Detailed structure of silicon era wood.
Friends, join the study of the above-described artifacts under your feet, especially since now it's time for vacations and maybe you will go to the sea. Flysch mountains are also present in many European and Asian countries.
And yet, such a volume of bush mountains could have formed only on the basis of the silicon element in other eras. But the structure of the coastal flysch shows that the silicon and carbon flora developed according to the same cosmic - informational laws.
