Found this. Not sure if it is wood, bone, or a tooth? When I look under a microscope, I think I see veins running lengthwise. But then, maybe it's my warped imagination. What's your guess? Thx!

Doesn't look like either bone or tooth (still essentially bone) to me. Petrified wood? :dontknow:

Your item looks very much like petrified wood. I am not that familiar with the different types petrified wood in your area, but I believe Palm wood is occasionally found in Florida.
