Hello all. Noob here. I’m Scott in east Texas. My stepfather unearthed this petrified palm bulb? caudex? while clearing some land a few years back in Trinity county Texas and I’m having trouble finding other examples of it and it was brought to my attention today that given how intact it is and the size it may be a bit rarer. I’ll apologize for only the one pic atm as the rock is actually at our other place. It’s ~10-12” in diameter and ~12-14” tall and I’d guess ~70lbs or a bit more. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Hello, this find looks like a fossilized tree root the way it winds through this approximately 15 inch long 10 inch wide chunk. There were bigger boulders with more pieces in, but the third picture showed the movement better. Can anyone verify what it is? It was found along a creek in Monroe county West Virginia in an area with many crinoid remnants. I’m new to fossil hunting with my kids and want to learn as much as I can! The second picture is beautiful and different than anything I found before too. Thank you for any help!

This was given to me by a retired coal miner a few years ago. He said he found it in a coal mine many years ago in McDowell county West Virginia. Any kind of info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
