Auspex Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 They look like stream-tumbled cobbles of sedimentary rock. The regular layers are the give-away.

tmaier Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 You were probably thinking petrified wood because of the wood grain-like structure, right? It isn't petrified wood because the layers are parallel instead of concentric, just like Auspex points out. Keep looking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmaier Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 A lot of the time when you actually do find petrified wood, it just looks like a light colored rock, so people pass right by it. The outer surface is often rough and oxidized and the beauty of the fossil wood is inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howard_l Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 looks like sand/siltstone depending on the grain size. Howard_L http://triloman.wix.com/kentucky-fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
