Trying to find out what this is. Found in the Northern Nevada desert. It looks like a round tree trunk 10 inches across. Half of the outer surface is somewhat smooth and the other half has a stepped pattern that reminds me of how some plants grow stems upwards. The pic that shows this section maybe upside down. The photographer and I aren't sure whats up or down. The texture is like glass, we think its opalized? Very sharp edges and smooth. It's brittle. The color is brown on outside with white calcium patches. Inner area is a solid carmel color with tint of green, there are no flashes of rain

Hi- this is such a large piece and it looks like tree bark or wood , but it’s a rock. Could it be petrified wood or plant root? ( I keep finding small pieces like this as well.) Found in N central Ohio, river. If the location wasn’t known would you think it may be one of those ? Just curious. I guess I’m asking what to look for because I drag tooooo many “ rocks” home, Thanks again for all help .

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and wondering if you could all help me out. I found this fossil on the Thames foreshore in London at low tide. I would love to know what it came from! My only thought is that one side looks like rings of a tree and 2 other sides look a bit like bark. Would be very grateful for any help! Thanks

Hi everyone. I recently visited a quarry at the north of Spain (more specifically a geographical area called "El Bierzo", famous for its fossils from the carboniferous era) and I found the following ones. I think I have identified most of them but I would like to know your opinion. Thank you very much!

These were found east of Burns, Oregon in a road cut. I thought maybe redwood but the structure is vertical not horizontal. Can anyone tell me the name of my little guys? Thanks! Nyla

Found this in a washed out ditch. I have someone suggest that this might be a stigmaria, lepidodendron species. Would like to confirm ID. Thanks

Hello all! I am a new member, and this is my first post. Could I please have some help figuring out if these rocks are petrified wood? Most of them were found in a small Pennsylvanian stream. It looks like they are quartz, crystal quartz, but I am no expert. There should be about two pictures of each rock. Thanks for your help, and I have more pictures of different rocks if needed.

Found this rock today hiking with the kids. Never really been much into fossils but man this was interesting. Started thinking about how old it might be and if there's anything else that I'm not seeing due to my lack of knowledge. Came across this site so thought I would post it . Found in Niagara Bruce Trail in Ontario Canada...Rock was probably 14"-16 by 10" by 8" deep.

Found this oddly marked piece in Big Brook sticking out of the marl. The striations and pockmarks on it had me intrigued. Looks like maybe a tree or piece of wood or something. It broke and inside it has a striated texture as well as kind of marly. Anyone think it could be something fossilized?

Here's my part II. All pieces found on gravel bars in Kansas City. Close up and end-shots of a few provided as well. Fair to say all likely Pennsylvanian? Appreciate the feedback again! Bone

This past weekend I was able to enjoy a rare February day of sunshine and temperatures above 50-degrees F (10-degrees C) in a vast expanse of public land owned by the U.S. government and in care of the Bureau of Land Management located in northwestern New Mexico. The area where I ventured is Upper Cretaceous though I am not sure of any period beyond that general age. Of the fossil related items I ran across, the first two photos show some petrified wood from a ground level stump. I noted some unfamiliar calcite patterns that were vaguely diamond shaped. The second photo shows an

Found this here in western Colorado I have done some looking online closest thing i can find is fossil/petrified palm wood it would be from the Niobrara Formation, Smoky Hill Member and is Upper/Late Cretaceous. What do you guys think? Did a quick polish too quick as you can see all the scratches haha Thanks anyone that can help

Found this piece of sandstone in Sullivan Co., PA. It comes from either the Huntley Mtn. Fm. (Mississippian/Devonian) or the Burgoon Ss. (Mississippian). What could have made these concentric rings? They go through the rock perpendicular to bedding. It's odd that the center is mostly round but further out is more square. Could it be a tree fossil? That is the only thing I can think of.

While digging a new pond this fell out of the bucket. It is 15 in long, 8 in wide, 3 in thick. Very heavy. Will try to get good pics. Thanks Hope

Good morning, I hope all is well with you and thank you for having a look at this post and the pictures I will be uploading. Obviously my hope is to figure out what this is. About 10 years ago I found this in the Eifel National Park here in Germany. I posted two pictures to give indication. It was found literally "in the woods." I was walking through the forest, rather far off from any path, and found this. In my opinion rather heavy for its sizes. It weighs about 6.5 Kg (about 14 pounds) I have always called it “the tree rock” and pick it up now and again,
