This is my first one. I wish you success in your search! I am lucky with these bits of silicified wood . . . the examples in these images have been sold into other collections. I sell these on eBay from time to time. I keep only a few special pieces in my personal collection (see my Gallery album). I will be offering more specimens at auction soon. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifbrindacier Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Thank you all for your compliments. Once, during a fossil hunt, a member of my club found a nice and big piece of petrified floated wood. He was so proud of his found ! But he wondered about the little round pink things on it. I wondered if it could be some kind of foraminifer and touched one. It was soft and flexible. He was so disappointed. I mean by telling this that the petrified wood look sometimes so much the actual one that one can be easily lured. I found it in a place where there are oyster beds made with pieces of wood and just before that one i found a bigger floated wood, much heavy but not petrified. 1 minute ago, Harry Pristis said: Show us some examples, Nimravis.

ynot Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Yeah, I just saw an exact looking piece in another thread here on TFF. It is not necessary to post the same piece in 2 threads. By the way- termite coprolites are hexagonal not round. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."
