Amazing. That first one looks like it's still wood.
Question: how do you know what wood it was? From the grain??

Amazing. That first one looks like it's still wood. Question: how do you know what wood it was? From the grain?? When you have good cell preservation, it is fairly easy to tell what kind of wood it is. I use a 10 power loupe and a book on wood identification. Also a good macro lens will get a good look at the grain. I also use a microscope hooked to my computer. Part of the fun of finding petrified wood is figuring out what it was. |

It appears to me to be very similar to White Oak and that is what I call it. In reality it could be something else that no longer exists today.  |

Thank you. And, dang, I love the macro picture. That is too cool. I have to get a macro lens at some point. Not only will it be nice for insect photos, but I am imagining the possibilities for rocks: Stone Canyon jasper, whale/dino bino, crazy lace.... So... another question. I know these aren't macro-shots, and many of these are heavily replaced by agate, jasper, whatever, so the structure may not even be there, but are any of these identifiable for species? www.flickr.com/photos/36618387@N06/sets/72157633962891720TIA for any help. |

It would be very hard to id any of them without have a look see at the end grains. They sure are purty tho! I have several canon cameras and my sx10 with super macro is what I used for the picture I put on here. I was just taking pictures of a bee with a T1I canon. Good hobby, |

So pretty much the opposite of how slabs for cabbing are usually cut. Thanks for the compliment. Sounds like a nice lens. Bees and dragonflies are some of my favorite subjects. |
