Large fossil "petrified" wood

[Bonehunter]

And lastly the large, 13lb section of wood, found not associated with any layers- found in the little blue river of Kansas City last week. very dense for its size. I understand this may not be speciated but pretty none-the-less! And not to stri the pot, but I've read some articles stating that mineralization can happen very fast, and some "petrified wood" could only be a hundred years old or less. I would presume there are so many factors that enter into mineralization of wood that only some techniques and carbon dating could help define age? Thanks for looking!   Bone

I don't hear it saying wood.

Hmmm- ya know, I can't see the fine mineralization that I do with my other "woods"-so yes maybe it isn't, but then, what is it?........  Thanks!   Bone

That bottom photo gives me the same sensation as looking for trout laying in a stream bed.

Ahhh- streambeds I am very familiar with catching trout-just channeled bedrock?- I can see that, though, nope there's no trout in these waters, but caught some last week further south! 

 

 Is a silver lining to Covid- able to get out more!!....  stay healthy and thanks for the help!
