This item was uncovered while excavating my basement in 2007. After watching a series of videos from the Illinois Geological Survey last year, I believe it is petrified wood of some early tree's growing in Northern Illinois between glacial periods. it weighs 17.2 pounds and its about 10 inches tall. It has a large flat area and another smaller flat area on its opposite. I don't see rings as you might see in tree stumps which is concerning. Rather it has vertical lines on most of it sides with interesting crevasses like an old tree limb might have. It is appears broken at the top with an almost rotted core look to it. Can you help me identify and age this item?
