Kkoz Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 That's a beauty. Do you know where it's from, what age? I'm not sure of much info but I believe it came from the deserts of Nevada, California or Arizona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilcrazy Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Don't usually see logs with knots. Looks like typical Arizona colors. Very nice piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrocodileJen Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 LOVE the knots. VERY cool. My dad has a big piece but it just looks like a smooth stump, no detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rejd Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Very nice piece. I love the detail and the knots. It's also great that is was passed down from a family member. Makes it that much better. Thanks for sharing. A fossil hunter needs sharp eyes and a keen search image, a mental template that subconsciously evaluates everything he sees in his search for telltale clues. -Richard E.

Fossildude19 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I don't usually care much for petrified wood, but once in a while you see a specimen like this one, and you have to drool,... just a bit. Thanks for posting this stunning piece.
