Carl Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I think, overall, they look more like some kind of fibrous mineral. To male a confident petrified wood ID would require an extreme magnification of the end-on view. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creek - Don Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 What a coincidence. I also found almost exact piece of rock from Trinity River in Dallas. Are they related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creek - Don Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Also, this is a Texas petrified wood from Yequa fossil formation that was for sale at an online auction site. Looks very similar to rocks shown here. Fossil wood representing the tribe Engelhardieae of the Juglandaceae is reported for the first time. The genus Engelhardioxylon is created to accommodate fossil woods with anatomy like that of modern genera in the Engelhardieae. Two middle Eocene species of Engelhardioxylon are described, one from eastern Oregon (E. nutbedensis) and one from southeastern Texas (E. texana). The anatomy of these fossils is indistinguishable from that of the modern genera of the Engelhardieae, i.e., Engelhardia, Oreomunnea, and Alfaroa. The uniformity in wood anatomy between these fossils and the extant genera of the Engelhardieae suggests that a common pattern of anatomy, established during or prior to the Eocene, has been retained despite the morphological differentiation of fruits and foliage.

Agreed.
