Fossildude19 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Location found is helpful to us to figure out stratigraphy of the area found. State and county would be fine.

minnbuckeye Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Identification could be much better if a location more specific than USA is given. @Fossildude19You beat me to it by seconds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyw Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Can we get pictures from all sides? I’m getting a petrified wood vibe…but would like more sides to confirm or refute that theory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messmesa Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 It's in the yard of my relatives house, someone gave it to them so the true origin is not known, they said they have more pieces like it that were also given to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPS Ammonite Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 (edited) Does not look like the typical commercial Chinle wood; too muted, but still may be. Without a good provenance you need an expert of commercial wood localities. See brightly colored Chinle wood from one of the largest fossil wood collections in the world: LGF Foundation. https://m.facebook.com/LGFfoundation Edited March 26 by DPS Ammonite My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.
