Rockwood Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Sorry. Some wood isn't easy to identify as such. I don't think this looks like the examples of such specimens that I've seen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 Technically chert quartzite flint agate jasper petrified wood is the same thing just formed in different ways at least that's what geologists say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Yes, they are all different forms of microcrystalline quartz. Nevertheless, we still need well-focussed and detailed photos in order to make proper judgement. At least petrified wood usually shows grain patterns, which I'm not able to see in your photos.

DPS Ammonite Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 43 minutes ago, Ricky said: Are you blind? We are not blind; we are just not convinced that this is wood by looking at your dark and fuzzy photos. Show us some well lit photos of some growth rings that most wood possesses then maybe we might be convinced. If need be, have a friend with a better camera take pictures. There are many causes of the parallel lines in rocks. It could be bedding planes, differential weathering and flow banding (as in rhyolite). See if you can get a better photo from angle of your photo below. We are looking for growth rings. 1 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

Ricky Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 I'm sorry to offend anyone. I was just asking for advice and opinions and some people seem like they would argue with a fence post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I confess, I do love a good argument. Over confidence is like a red flag to a bull to me. In my opinion there seem to be more things that are inconsistent with growth rings than in favor of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
