Fossilman Maybe not wood. I have some that looks just like that, but it is chert. Fooled me at first.
Unless there is bark on the outer rind? CUT IT! lol Jean
ETA - not the one I was thinking of, but along the same lines, a little smaller. From the desert. I'll post a pic of the other, if I can find it. It looks very much like yours, Mike.
Flint, chert, tabby cat..

Interesting piece, the inside grain more resembles Obsidian or Flint, but the outside skin looks right. Any idea where it came from.
Have to admit I have pieces on the alleged Petrified wood pile that have non-wood look to their inside grain.

It's from the Salem,Oregon area..Its an older gal, says she gets it all out of a ravine,on her property,just outside of town.. I'm invited out there to look the material over,when it cools down a bit...Plus lots of petwood there too,says she has a dump trk load of it so far... My friend,seen it,says yuppers,she isn't lying..
