Petrified wood

Hiking around getting ready for rifle season and ran across this piece. I’ve never found one this big.

We had a THF member called Bever who laws in to that.

Nice one. Great shape too

Yep that’s a good one! I found this one on my place in Edwards county

I thought this thread was about Bill or Buzz

I had a friend up in Oklahoma who had a motel sided mostly by petrified wood .

That's cool!

Fossilized palm wood is the official state stone of Texas...

never knew that

I have no idea what kind of wood it is. There is so much drift wood around here, I wasn't sure if it was petrified until I picked it up.

Might be cool to cut that in half and polish it out.

Nice ntxtrapper I have it all over on one of my places and have only found 2 pieces larger than that.

There's about 10 more pieces of it there, but I could only carry the biggest one. It was up on a rocky point where I've found several flint arrow heads. I will get the rest of it over the next few days.

I dug this piece out of a creek in Bastrop ------------

cool

Size 6?

WOW!

beaver, is that you?

Nice! Wow on the one from the creek!

That stuff is all over our property in Freestone County. A little research told me ours is palm wood, between 60-80 million yrs old. I have found some nice size chunks of it, a few tree trunks still largely intact but they break up when digging them up. The house built from recycled box cars that my grandfather was born and raised in used petrified wood for the piers. We'll get some nice chunks out of that when we clean up the old home site.

I see people freak out when they find a hand sized piece of petrified wood, I grew up finding it everywhere on the property so it's never been a big deal to see it.

What is that wood scared of?

There is a house in Columbus, TX built out of petrified wood, very cool

There's a place that used to be an old gas station, then a pool hall just outside Glen rose, that is made of local petrified wood. It's pretty awesome....Nice find, Ntxtrapper.

The old family homestead in Freestone Co has it all over the place, like you said trunks mostly intact. Strange that it's right on top of the ground.

Nice find!
