Rockwood Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 It's a little hard to make out in these photos. It could be damaged wood, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Maybe a crushed piece of rudist?

hndmarshall Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 took a couple of pics under my micro/macro camera and here is some of the cell structure...it is different than most of the wood I examine first pic natural light second enhanced filtered it shows a cell pattern so it is plant but is it wood or ?

DPS Ammonite Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 It has the slight look of Eocene Snakewood. Maybe a local will know if there is similar aged wood present in Brazos River gravel from west Houston. @JohnJ @Uncle Siphuncle My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

JohnJ Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I don't think this is "snakewood". If it was, it would be easily discernable in the end view of the original photo. It does appear to be wood of some kind. 1 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
