Finally found something.

Hi everyone,

 

When I least expected it, I made an unexpected catch while I was fishing in the snake river, at the bottom of the canyon near Twin Falls, Idaho.

 

Since nothing was biting, I decided to set my pole down and look at some rocks. While I was digging through some loose soil in the river, I found this. It appears to be a small piece of petrified wood.

When I found it, I said to myself, “Well, it’s not a fish, but it’s something.”

 

At least I got something while fishing!

It's hard to tell what this might actually be, since the images aren't really sharp enough to be able to judge. It certainly is small, judging by the thumb and it sure is "something", but maybe you should post a direct photo of it instead of giving it here second hand.

I took this picture underneath a high powered magnifier. I guess the resolution on the magnifier was a little low.

 

Hold on a second, let me get you a fresh photo.

Will these images work? I did not use the Magnifier this time.
 

FYI, that’s my thumb right by the fossil.

I must admit that it looks like wood, but not necessarily fossilized. Is it as hard as rock?

Yes, it is. Hard as a rock.

 

I was skeptical at first myself.

Ok then. I guess it's petrified.
