JUST GOTTA LOVE THIS JOINT.
DingDingDing! We have a winner.
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:

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

A little older than you thought.
Order: †Lepidodendrales
Family: †Lepidodendraceae

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.

So how did you find out what it was?
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.

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.
