The fossilised log that is registered in this 5 part sculpture was once part of a Permian-era Glossopteris forest in Gondwana (c. 299–250 million years ago), before the Permian–Triassic mass extinction. Across deep time, the forests’ biological material became the Illawarra Coal Measures, whose seams are visible in the Illawarra escarpment and extend beneath the Sydney Basin toward Newcastle. This tree was washed down an ancient river system and gradually silicified, enduring today as a rare intact intertidal fossil at Clifton, where traces of the same paleo river system also remain.
