It is found in the Dakotas as well. A couple of brothers I know from the Cloud's show days specialized in it. I think they were from North Dakota. Neat stuff.

You're right, I'm lucky. I hadn't thought of it that way but that is exactly what it is. Life is sweet!

Lots of that in Western North Dakota....Thumbs up In fact it is the official State stone for North Dakota - toredo petrified wood. The best pieces are still hollow where the worms ate it out, so you can see the channels through the wood. One guy said he found one with a petrified worm still in it, but it didn't look like one to me. |

It seems like i continue to see Dakota and Montana materials that look exactly like materials from Zapata.
I am anxious to go back. I have permission on a ranch that has some of the highest ancient gravel shelves and just full of great material.
That is a find and you got it shined up and super round Carlos.
