The fossil tree is an impression of a 12m high conifer tree that was engulfed by molten lava. It was named after the cartographer John MacCulloch, who discovered it in 1819. Signs of other fossil trees nearby are shown by distortion in the rocks as the lava cooled into basalt columns, some fanning out like the spokes of a wheel.
