Good afternoon everyone,

 

     I’m reaching out today in hopes of getting some information on two specimens. I have no location based information , unfortunately.  The first reminds me of petrified wood and stromatolite, it’s a huge faced specimen.  The color is darkish red, almost a limonite yellow and some mixes of other feint colors.  It looks partially agatized as well.  It’s a super cool piece.

 

     The second specimen is aquatic based I’m sure, it looked sort of like coral at first glance.  After further inspection I’m unsure, so I figured I’d reach out.  The specimen is large, 9x5x4 and weighs in over 5 pounds.  It looks as if some of it might be a conglomerate, I’m unsure.  It looks partially calcified and agatized as well.  I appreciate your time and consideration in advance as always.  Enjoy the day,

 

Regards,

Mike

Beautiful piece of pet wood.

The other thing is a coral colony, I think.

@Agateyes: nice ones. Do you have any idea if it comes from US, Europe or...?

Thank you for the responses, I appreciate it.  To answer your question rocket, I don’t have any location information, unfortunately.  The petrified wood is pretty cool, I was unsure what type of trace fossils were on it, if any.

The first piece is not petrified wood. It is a calcite flowstone from the wall of a limestone cavern.
