    Thanks, sparky45!
    I knew it was a piece of petrified plant material- but that's all I knew. Thanks for the knowledge!
    We found lots of these in two lines around a dozen feet long. They lay side by side where they fell no telling how many thousands of years ago. They are in a wash leading to the Sabana River in Comanche County, Texas.
    Thanks for playing!

    Little more detail:
    Lepidodendron
    Plant
    Lepidodendron is an extinct genus of primitive, vascular plants also known as scale trees, related to the quillworts and lycopsids. They were part of the coal forest flora. They sometimes reached heights of 50 metres, and the trunks were often over 1 m in diameter. They thrived during the Carboniferous Period Wikipedia
    Scientific name: Lepidodendron
    Age: about 359 million to 299 million years ago britannica.com

    A little older than you thought.

    Order: †Lepidodendrales
    Family: †Lepidodendraceae
    Kingdom: Plantae

    Couple of years ago I found a large chunk of the fossil encased within sandstone. Got it out of the canyon and sent it to the University of Kansas.

    Texas, here’s one for you to figure out for me. Found it the other day. Looks to me like a petrified dinosaur or woolly mammoth bone?












    And my ancient tool I found a few weeks ago on my land…

    It looks like a petrified fragment of long bone with the associated cancellous bone on the inner radius. Presumably that would indicate a mammalian source. It would be interesting to wrap it with a piece of paper to estimate the original diameter, perhaps establish the former owner's size.

    Be one heck of a forearm!!!!
    Judging from your photos, I would estimate the piece in its entirety would be around 3" diameter, and wow is that cortex thick!

    Here are a couple of other cool rocks I found on my property…





    A voodoo shrunken head and quartz that looks like carp skin.lol

    I found another cool rock today that I will have to take a shovel back to dig out. Reminds me of the “Carp skin” rock but is a big white crater looking round ball sticking out of the ground.
