William Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 This is about 5" X 4" X 3/4" found near SW Indiana (Worthington, IN). Is this bark, some kind of grass or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missourian Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 That looks like wood that shrunk and cracked. Some Cordaites wood for comparision: Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 Yeah, it does look like that's what it is. I figured it was wood of some sort. Just didn't know how it might get the separations. Thanks for the response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 If the dark material is (as it appears) carbonized material, that would pretty well seal the deal for decorticated bark, perhaps an impression.
