sharko69 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Found this while shark tooth hunting with my son but unsure what it is. Looks like petrified wood but has knots all over it. Any ideas what I have here? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would I be able to test that with a magnet. That would be iron correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, limonite (rust) is not magnetic. 4 minutes ago, sharko69 said: That would be iron correct? Oxidized iron. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

The Jersey Devil Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 It looks like petrified wood with some concretionary material on it. “You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.” ― Mikhail Tal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
