    Tarrant formation petrified branch

    I found this interesting piece of pet wood some time ago in the Tarrant formation, it had eroded into a creek. Notice the ship worm holes. I was surprised it had a small part of the secondary branch still connected. Tarrant county, TX

    Woodbine pet wood and more

    I’m searching for more Tarrant formation exposures between the woodbine and eagleford in Tarrant/Johnson counties and came across a few normal items (no ammonites this time). One of the more colorful small pieces of pet wood I have. Also, thanks to Lone Hunters ID assistance I have my first piece of coalified wood. I was in a hurry, and it was getting dark, but there’s more at the spot, I’m sure.

    Conlinoceras tarrantense+pet wood

    I have 3-4 spots (duck creek, Grayson, Fort Worth formations) I haven’t yet revisited since it rained that are really close to my house. I’ve been to the same conlinoceras spot 3x and this was my last visit until we get heavy rain/erosion again. It didn’t disappoint! Funny how I can walk by the same spot 3x and find things I missed. Haha! I’ve seen ammonites missing chambers before, but this little one seems to have indentations that might have been there originally, like from bite marks or something. What do you think? Just my child-like imagination? the nice looking white calcite specimen missing part of itself is from another larger creek that my primary spot feeds into more upstream. Tarrant County TX.

    Coalified wood?

    Found this larger chunk of rock (too hard to be modern charcoal) while sifting for microfossils. It has a metallic look to it and is fairly brittle. It was found on bradford beach on Lake Michigan and was likely eroded out of the mid Devonian Milwaukee formation which is known for its coalified trees and giant fungi. this looks like a lot of coalified wood I’ve seen pictures of, but I’m pretty new when it comes to plant fossils so this might just be mineral. Thanks!
  5. Hello! Newbie here with a love for fossils. I have a very small collection and only casually hunt for them. Anyways, I was on a trip to Forest County, Pennsylvania this past weekend. I was cruising a creek channel looking for trout in the Allegheny NF when this caught my eye. My gut feeling was this looks like a piece of wood, but it's very dense, it does feel heavy like a piece of stone. There's a lot of sandstone in this creek valley, but this feels much heavier than that. Bark-like striations and some is flaking off like a sedimentary or mica flavor of rock. It's flat on one side with a small ridge down the middle. Both ends are also flat, almost like a cut piece of wood.

    Pet Wood

    From the album: Plantae

    7x6x2cm. From the petrified forest by Virgin, Washington County, Utah, USA. Chinle Formation, Late Triassic. Thanks to my Secret Santa Crusty Crab.
  7. I got out again to gather a few small specimens of pet wood. Found in the Triassic of the Newark supergroup deposits in southeastern Pennsylvania.
  8. A projection of rain in the forecast for Saturday caused me to change my plans at the last minute and venture a little further west than I had initially planned and hoped to go. Since I had not yet visited Whiskey Bridge since moving to Texas at the beginning of September I decided that it posed as a nice alternative, especially when trying to decide on Friday night where to go the following morning. Plus this way I could also collect some petrified wood in College Station. This petrified wood is from the Late Middle Eocene Yegua Formation and is absolutely abundant in the Bryan-College Station area. Petrified wood chips literally cover the ground. Whether recent rain from Tropical Storm Nicholas unearthed a number of pieces or I simply lucked out with the site having not been collected in a while, but in about an hour of collecting, I found more than a dozen good size chunks of petrified wood. I was really impressed by the diversity of colors and how many of the pieces looked like pieces of wood you would find today. Several pieces had knots in them, showed insect damage, or had small deposits of chalcedony or druzy on them. All of my finds were either tropical hardwoods or tropical conifers. After having my fill of petrified wood, I made my way to Whiskey Bridge and had the site to myself for the entire day. I am still working on cleaning, stabilizing and identifying all of my finds, so a post on my Whiskey Bridge finds will have to wait for another day.

    Colorful Petrified Wood

    This past Saturday I joined other members of the DVPS to collect pieces of petrified wood in a farm field near Odessa, DE. It was a lot of fun! Last night I finished cleaning off the last of the shards of wood that I found and I was struck by this piece. The color on it is very different from the cream and red color of the other pieces, which you can see on the reverse side of this piece. This one has a strange bluish spot on one side of it. It almost reminds me of the agatized coral that people collect on the Withlacoochee River in Georgia. I was wondering if anyone knew what this spot is. Is this piece of petrified wood in fact partially agatized?
  10. This display contains 100+ specimens of the best petrified wood that I found, during more than a decade of fossil-hunting, in the Triassic age Newark Basin of southeastern Pennsylvania. The material is scarce. I have plenty more smaller pieces. The shelves dimensions are 6 feet x 5 feet x 1 foot.
  11. Hey guys I have found an enormous amount of beautiful petrified wood, specifically palm on the catahoula formation in East Texas, which I (think) is Eocene. But I'm wondering if there is more diversity available. I've heard that wood and bones fossilize differently, so is it possible to find bones on the catahoula formation as well? I've never heard of such a thing but I would certainly hope it's possible. Let me know what you think. - Jared

    Help with i.d.!

    Hello, I was wondering if I could get some help in identifying this petrified wood, if possible? Where: Saddle Mountain, Washington State Size: 3.81 cm at the widest Age: Miocene, approx 14-15,000,000 yoa I understand that the majority of the wood there is Taxodioxylon sp., but this looks different than the pics I've seen of that. Any thoughts?
  13. I dont remember exactly when in my life but at one point I saw my first petrified wood and thought that's amazing. Well many years have come and gone and have seen lots of shops selling wood at what seems over expensive and not interested prices for tiny pieces. But then finally while looking to buy an item from someone they randomly have this piece of petrified wood and now I have something that filled that history in my life. Now the better question is what to do with it? Raw to me looks amazing but the thought in the back of my head is what if I polish it? Not really sure what I want to do but thought I would ask you great people for some details and insight. To me the raw look is everything great and what I love about rocks but the polished side would be showy and fancy bringing out semi the best in looking form maybe for it. Hard to decide.

    Small what ever?

    Found in the drive west of Houston Texas, possibly from a load of gravel from the Brazos river is this a tiny bone fragment or a worn pebble of pet wood of some kind?
  15. hndmarshall

    Help needed

    I have spotted some woodworm on my prized piece of petrified wood . Can I treat if with this . I wood be gutted to lose this specimen. Thanks Bobby
  17. Howdy! Just about every piece of the metric tons I've collected have, pretty much, fits into a neat category of: broken and irregular end, smooth surfaces, weathered and jagged, or tumbled and rounded. But I found something a couple of days ago that I've never seen before and rather than trying to settle on one wild hypothesis, I thought I'd ask the experts! This piece was found near a body of water in Brazos County, TX in the Yegua. It looks as if it would have been a general cube shape, except for one corner that's missing. I'm also puzzled due to the direction of the grain. Here's my conundrum. I don't think it was broken post-petrification. I've never seen a broken surface with this texture. Hopefully, you can see the lighter colored sort of ring that follows the edge of the missing corner. I've found some pieces where it looks like it was the end of a limb that broke off of a larger limb and, in my experiences so far, none looked like this. Am I just hoping for something unusual, or is this just a normal thing I've never seen before and, if so, what is it? I think I did okay with the images, but let me know if you need/want additional pics or whatever. Thank you so much for looking and helping out if you can!
