I found a little fossil piece at a small parking near the famous Czech castle of Karlstejn, opposite a small hotel 'Pod Draci Skalou'. The tubes are brown, segmented and have a small central hollow channel 1/7th of the diameter. It has small branches 1.5cm apart at opposing sides, and the mainroot strikes a small angle to the other side (20 degrees) at those nodes.
