CrownJewel Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Went on a hunt yesterday along the San Jacinto River. Found some of the coolest pieces so far but I’m puzzled about one piece in particular. Is this just a piece of agatized wood or possibly bone? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Sberebit Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Perhaps some more pictures would help. Link to post Share on other sites
Kane Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 To add, if you could show us pictures of the ends that would help as both wood and bone will show more of their diagnostic details from those angles. Link to post Share on other sites
CrownJewel Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 I apologize for lack of pictures! Im new to the site and was having trouble downloading more. Would it benefit me to go ahead and cut an end piece? Try and get a definitive answer that way? Link to post Share on other sites
CrownJewel Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 So I decided to do an end cut! Here’s the result. What do y’all think? I’m still going back and fourth between which it could be. I appreciate any help! Link to post Share on other sites
Rockwood Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Possibly wood that was decomposed to the point that the structure was not preserved, but I can't say it with any confidence. Link to post Share on other sites
CrownJewel Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 Thank you Rockwood! I’m right there with you. I collect a lot of petrified wood from my area and have never run across a piece as such! Link to post Share on other sites

The owner of the shop seemed fairly confident that it's what this represents. Link to post Share on other sites
