r/petrifiedwood

Found it on my morning walk around one potato field in Central Bohemian region of Czech Republic.

Two pieces gifted by a generous friend, who gathered them from the mud around Brilliant, Ala. Photos don’t do justice.

The second & third pics include a view of what could be a termite nest?

Found this piece sticking out of the dirt in the bank of a dry creek in Central Texas, and I polished one end of it. I dig it and am curious as to how you would identify wood types?

I finished polishing this slab today, it is the third from this log I have polished. I bought it from a shop and the origin is unknown. Has anyone seen anything like this? It seems like every piece with red and yellow gets tagged as Arizona wood. Not saying this isn't, just looking for input.

I’m pretty excited to get this piece. What do you guys think? It’s about 10.75 inches wide and 2.5 inches thick. It is heavy. It weighs over 15 pounds but it feels much heavier for some reason. It is from northeastern Arizona from the Late Triassic period so it is over 200 million years old. I paid around 400 dollars did I do okay?

Piece my boyfriend found in Somerville, Texas

In love with this piece. I’ll post a picture in the comments of it with a light under it, no picture or video will do it justice (especially my lil iPhone 12 mini)

Looking at the bottom it's all rock too, I don't know if it'd be worth cutting open.

I bought this rock a long time ago in northeast Arizona and it was labelled as petrified wood. I'm not quite sure what the long thin tubes on one side of this piece are (side B). They look like they run in layers, do they create tree rings or something else?

If this is part of a tree trunk, is it possible to tell which is the inside part and which part faced the outside/faced the bark? Any tells on what kind of a tree this was and could this be Arizona rainbow petrified wood? Is pretty heavy at 48.5 lb. It is about 13.5 inches x 8 inches.

It is has been cleaned, some parts appear to have dust/speckles on the outside but I think that is part of left behind matrix.

Thank you!

Got it on eBay for a few Euro.

Most collected from landscape rock on walks with my dog in NE Denver, CO. Hopefully will get the chance to actually dig for some in Wyoming soon!

Next picture shows overall photo.

Of course the sun went behind a cloud as i started taking video! Im still working on cleaning and will post more soon!

Here are just a couple of the limb casts that we found last weekend here in Central Oregon.
