Kolbs Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 The last pic looks promising....would it be possible to get a view of both ends? 3 Everything is generated through your own will power ~ Ray Bradbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innocentx Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 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?

Bronzviking Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 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 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 @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. "Journey through a universe ablaze with changes" Phil Ochs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Bottom one looks like wood. Interesting something at the bottom of first end pic. 1 Everything is generated through your own will power ~ Ray Bradbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innocentx Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 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.

ynot Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I will go with it being wood (petrified). Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Walt Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 This is from the first end view. Anyone know what it could be? Everything is generated through your own will power ~ Ray Bradbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
