ynot Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Nice piece. In order to identify wood You have to look at the cellular structures of the wood. Most petrified wood does not have enough cellular detail to classify. You can search for literature on the site that may identify the woods that are present in the formation. 3 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

You would also need to cut and polish the cross section to get a proper view of the placements. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Several people told me that the chevron folding was due to the compression of the wood during burial and was not the original texture. 2 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

Fossildude19 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Like Tony said, you probably can't get a definitive ID unless you know what kind of wood was found in the Formation, and cut and polished samples are studied by petrified wood experts. Cool piece I would just label "Petrified Wood" 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

But the real formation is unknown cause it was found in the garden and that's not original place ,my friend tried to use it as a decoration for the garden...:D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
