I have several stromatolites that I've found in Knox county TN. They've only been found one 1 other location in Tennessee, by a boat ramp in Claiborne county. These aren't near a body of water, they're setting on top of very damp, moss covered ground. Claiborne county is about 45 miles north.

I have several pieces of what I believe to be petrified wood that I discovered on a friend's property recently. I'm no expert hunter or big collector, I've just collected cool rocks I would find as long as I can remember. He has several acres right on the country line, in Knox county. I have researched it though, and all I can find says it's only been found in Savannah, west Tennessee. It's not just a piece or 2, I've got a bunch I've gathered up, and I just started, there's tons and tons of rocks on his property. I downloaded a rock identification app & it agreed I've got alot of petrified wood, agatized wood, fossils & more. But of course, I get different answers on a few but I am pretty sure I just stumbled on a treasure chest of fossils. I think I've also got some Picasso stone, it's beautiful. Agate, calcite, quartz, even a couple that may be Jasper. Several pieces are uniquely shaped, 1 looks like a brain. I've been trying to get good pics of the best, I've got alot more, pics & rocks. Please tell me what you think. I've included a few of the pics from my rock identifier app. You'll see that the same pic gave me a fossil, snakeskin agate, pegmatite & quartz for an answer
