Petrified wood and geode help!!

[minnbuckeye]

Can anyone shed some light on these two specimens. I was given these from my technician last week. They were the possessions of her grandfather, who passed away last month. I told her TFF might be able to provide some info. Thanks for looking.

Wood looks like palm or fern.

Geode is from mexico.

@ynot best me to it, petrified palm wood, possibly from Texas.

Three minutes, 2 replies. Good job guys. No, great job guys!

Forgot to include this crystal:

Quartz.

[Miocene_Mason]

Not just any Quartz, a good quality double terminated one

[FossilDudeCO]

what is the size of that quartz crystal?

 

Yes, the geode is most definitely from MEXICO.

[Fossil-Hound]

Nice geologic specimens.

[PaleoRon]

The wood looks like it may be from a tree fern, perhaps Tietea singularis.

I thought the "grain" looked large for a palm, but was not sure.

Tree fern for the first

Very nice! Love the preservation of this tree fern! The geode looks like a very beautiful example of the Oco geodes from Brazil.  

[abyssunder]

That could mean the first two items are from the same location.

Thanks for all of the help. It will add to the significance of these specimens!
