hndmarshall Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Some one at the park brought this to me I think it may be petrified wood ... was found in the gravel drive it is a pretty good size chunk from the normal gravel chunks. My second thought on it was a chunk of horn but it has no openings on either end. found west of Houston Texas ...from a gravel load from the Brazos River.

ynot Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Nice close ups. OK, I am on the fence on this one now. Some of the close up pictures do look like petrified wood and some remind me more of quartzite. Let's see what others think. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Rockwood Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Between the overall exterior appearance being that of a piece of driftwood and the right angles in the almost woven texture, I think it looks like petrified wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
