fossilised wood

[Gio]

Good morning,

 

I have purchased this morning a little piece (and a slice of it) of what looks like fossiled wood at a flea market. The seller thought it was coming from Madagascar. Would anyone be able to help with the identification of it? 

 

Thank you very much indeed in advance for any information or reference you may have.

 

Kind regards,

 

Gio

Possibly tree

Looks like petrified palm wood (Palmoxylon).

Thank you, that's super interesting. And yes, I see that rod-like structure not rings.

Agreed: Palmoxylon. But not technically wood, in a botanical sense. Nice fossil!

Agree with above - Palmoxylon

Typical Madagascan wood has growth rings

Thank you, everyone, for contributing their expertise!
