I found these pieces today, the one on the left is wood but unsure if it is petrified or not, it sinks but that might be because rocks are attached on the other side, I could light it but I’d prefer a safer method. The one on the right is most likely a rock but I find the shape strange like maybe a piece of petrified branch? Thanks for the help

Get a thumbnail and try to push it into the piece of wood.  If it doesn't penetrate, guess what?  My educated(?) guess - - it's petrified! :rolleyes:

 

Not sure of #2, may need more photos.
