I found a 1961 paper from the Oregon Dep't of Geology and Mineral Industries the other day that says exactly what you just posted about Live Oak being predominant at Hampton Butte. It goes on to say that Palm, Tree Ferns (and other types) were absent.
The paper is Vol. 23, No. 6 of "The Ore.-Bin" - or so it says in the header.
Title is "Plant Fossils In The Clarno Formation, Oregon".
Jeez - With help like this from folks like you I might learn something about petrified wood before I'm the one petrified. It all started from a single chunk of Hubbard Basin I got sight-unseen last year in a deal on a pile of random rocks. Guess if we're lucky we get to keep learning!
i did see a nice pine slab the other day on one of the facebook wood groups it was from hampton not green though all brown
