Brazos River Petrified Wood/Bone Questions

Recommended Posts

I was walking along the many trails in the Sugar Land area near the Brazos River when I found a wonderful beach with many pieces of petrified wood. I'm very new to this world of fossils and rocks but I was quite intrigued by a piece of petrified wood with what I believed to be some fossilized sap (amber?). I was wondering if anyone could tell me more about this rock or the round piece of bone I found as well. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

The amber colored part of the wood is most likely chalcedony.  Still, there is the off chance it could be common opal.
