Auspex Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 To me, it looks like a piece of a nice geode.

lissa318 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Yes it is and even if not a fossil great find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
painshill Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Yes indeed. Most geodes typically have a banded chalcedony or agate exterior and a crystalline lining that's quartz or some variant thereof.

Jersey Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Did you find this or did you purchase it? If you found it, were there others? There's some potential for nice lapidary material and for specimens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizardG Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 I found it on the place we live. No others so far but I look daily for PW. So far in the last six months I've collected almost three milk crates of varying sizes. The largest about 20lbs. Every day my friend and I feed about 20 race horses in varying pastures and there seems to be an infinite supply of Petrified Wood. I'll post more pics soon.

Ludwigia Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 The 3rd pic looks like pet. wood to me. Me too. The geodes could very well have built within the pet wood as well.
