Petrified wood or rock

[Kolbs]

Hey all you wonderful folks... I have had this rather heavy piece of what I think is petrified wood for a few years... I found it in outside of jasper park ( Alberta Canada) along a river area or in British Columbia area again along a river I can’t remember which... I was excited when I found it because it looks sooo unique and it is quite heavy for its size my would be a lb or lb and half... any way so I am really looking at it today and now I am questioning if she is petrified wood lol please help me I “wood” (aha) appreciate it. Thank you

Hi, look like it is one, but, please, wait for more knowlageable one's opinion.

The last pic looks promising....would it be possible to get a view of both ends?

I have a piece which has good diagnostics for fossil wood(piece is 3" wide). Do you see anything similar(like vascular structures) when you look with magnification?

 

Magnification of central area.^

Welcome to the forum from sunny Florida. There is a good possibility it is wood, but in the last pic left side I'm thinking tumbled bone???? I've been looking at lot of my beach tumbled bone and I see similarities. What do you think TFF?

[Innocentx]

@Bronzviking Without evidence of wood cell structure this may very well be bone. It's so hard to tell from photos. Maybe forthcoming photos of ends will tell a story.

One end

The other end

Bottom one looks like wood. Interesting something at the bottom of first end pic.

If it's wood, then the grain as shown in these last photos may indicate a burl of some kind and not trunk or limb wood.

I will go with it being wood (petrified).

[Walt]

This is from the first end view.  Anyone know what it could be?  

[Kolbs]

I will try get a nice close up of that area tomorrow Walt... thanks for the input everyone
