Agatized wood by sdttds, on Flickr I wasn't inferring that it was bone, but that it looked like it. Maybe the legbone of some long-lost cousin?<g>

A piece I won't cut. This is pet palm collected east of the Calico Ghost Town, San Bernardino Co., Ca. in the Green Ash Hills collecting area. I found this one on the early 90's. These hills had been hunted for at least 40 years prior to me finding this. I wonder how many rockhounds had tripped over this. Every rock on the surface of those hills has the same brown desert tarnish. This piece caught my attention because it resembled a horses hoof. It's the transition point between palm trunk and root ball.

Just a few other rocks to roll it over and it can't weigh over 100-150 pounds...

Wet rainy morning here in Oregon, so I am playing with camera until I get up the energy to go outside, but then football may start.

Sometimes just natural unpolished petrified wood makes for a good set of bookends.

even pieces of trim makes a good display. Ike dollar for size reference.
