[QUOTE="Davey Crockett, post: 291939, member: 367"] It sort of looks like petrified wood but hard to tell . I was hoping to find some pictures that I saw earlier that had petrified wood with fossils that resemble the one you posted but can't find it. That website even had some old ship wreck wood with sea shells and other fossils that had been attached to the wood or bored into it and it was all petrified/fossilized . Here is a start for your journey , Half the fun of finding a rock is figuring out what you have once you drag it home .
