An entry from the Australian Amateur Mineralogist, September 1958, reads: Fossil wood of Jurassic age, recently found on the shoreline platform (at Cape Paterson) has proved to be varyingly replaced by the mineral laumontite. In all cases some carbonaceous woody material remains, usually brightly coalified, particularly on the outer layers. The discovery was made by Mr. A.A. Baker. Pieces of fossil wood up to a foot long have been found and the laumontite rosettes are spherical in shape, usually occupying cavities in the wood. The crystal aggregates display a pearly lustre and range from 1/2 to 2 inches across.
