Petrified wood or plant?

[rockofages]

I found this in New York. It appears to be petrified wood. I polished it, unwittingly realizing it was some sort of fossil. Can anyone help identify what it is? It is about 1" in size.

Where in NY? There's incredible geological diversity in that state.

It does look like petrified wood, which is plant.

Yes, fossil wood, i think, but it's not possible to tell which plant it's from, nothing diagnostic has been preserved.

In Westchester near the Hudson River. It was near the surface so my guess is that it's a glacier deposit.

That a nice piece of petrified wood. Good find.

Lovely color and texture on that piece. Cool find!

Not sure that is petrified wood. Petrified wood is not native to New York State however I've heard of it being found in Triassic sediments in neighboring Connecticut and Pennsylvania. If it is fossil wood it could have possibly arrived there from the glacial or human transport.  Westchester County bedrock is all unfossiliferous metamorphic rock. There are some decent fossil sites in Orange and Ulster Counties.

Just a little bit better focus on one of the side shots (especially the circled area), might reveal a cell structure, which would cinch a fossil wood ID.
