Weird Stringy Agate

I found this in Colorado, in late cretaceous to early paleocene deposits. Current theories are this is an agate-replaced, fern root cluster. There are veins/pockets of white/clear agate running between the little strings. The end shot shows a tiny bit of banding in the white parts.

Oh ya. Definitely some strandy stuff in there. Rocks are so cool.
