Have a strange one here. Looks like a squiggly fossil of some sort or petrified fern roots or something equally interesting.

Petrified Palm Roots from Louisana - Thanks RickB

Anyone know this one???

thanks!

I googled everyone's suggestions - then figured out both RickB and whalecottagedesigns got it right!

It's a Petrified Palm Root from Louisiana. I found the cab below that Sam Silverhawk did with this material.

thanks everyone!!!

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis
