Ludwigia Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 The first one has brachiopod imprints in it. Not sure about the second one. Could just be a weathered rock.

daves64 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 The 2nd rock doesn't appear to be petrified wood, but we would need a view of the ends to get any real idea's. The translucent area may be agate & any "orange" material may be iron oxide deposits (rust) from either iron content in the rock near the surface or from the soil it was in. Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hndmarshall Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 to me that last one does look like petrified wood I find many like that here but other views like the ends and other side will help to be sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Are pictures 23 and 4 of the same piece? I am leaning towards petrified wood, but more views would help.
