While not on quite as high a level, I encountered the same principle a year ago. In my case, I encountered a dead tree branch with an odd look to it where the bark had partially peeled off. I carefully peeled the rest off and this is what was revealed: These look like old, weathered bark beetle feeding galleries to me. Knowing the tree species and location can help identify the specific beetle. Attached are some examples of galleries made by common bark beetles (taken from https://www.fs.fed.us/r3/resources/health/field-guide/bb/index.shtml). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callahan Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Just saw this. did anyone ever figure this one out ? the swirls are crazy and look like the petroglyphs found out west. If not a hoax should have a college look at it. Not Smithsonian but someone local. this artifact could change timelines we know of possibly. truly a find of a lifetime any Aztec or Mayan culture experts on here looked at it ?

Bryan, if you read through the entire topic, more than ample evidence and research has been provided to explain the original piece as a counter septarian structure. Skepticism is useful, but this one turned out to be another natural example of incredible beauty. 1 1 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said exactly the same thing you did when I first saw this thread and argued vehemently that it was a man-made artifact. Then I did some research (say Google) and found out I was wrong. This particular specimen that this thread is based upon is just amazing! 1 1 Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
