Hello to all. This is my collection of flora from the Carboniferous period. This topic will be filled gradually - there is a lot of material.

I was creek walking today and found this 15 lb piece of petrified wood. I looked up similar sized pieces but I feel like this may be "extra cool"? I don't know much about fossils but I have a passion for wood formations and this seems to be a knot from the tree with the burl or tumor in tact on the back side. My question is if it were to be sliced would it be more valuable because of the natural swirling of the burl? Or is this even a cool find at all? I'm new here guys haha! Thanks in advance for any input or comments!

Just thought I'd share some photos of a pretty nice specimen. Cube is 1". Found it buried in the garden at a recent estate sale. Amazing detail and when rapped it has a very high pitched ping! Best to all you diggers! -

Ever since the format has changed on TFF, I experience the need to sign in again at a frequency of every other day. What is the trick to stay logged in as in the old format? Help! Mike
