Large piece of petrified wood found in Southeast Ohio creek bank. Too big to remove. Will have to take proper digging tools with me on return visit.

I found a 300+-pound piece of petrified wood in a creek while hunting artifacts. I rolled it back to my truck but could not lift it to get it in the truck and I had to get help to get it in my truck to get it home.

the surface looks right but the side (end) seems wrong. Can you get more pictures?

I find a lot of chunks on the beach but here is my favorite. It looks just like a piece of drift wood, color, shape and wear.

Well, it took me about 2 years to finally dig out that piece of petrified wood from Ohio and bring it home to Maryland. It is now resting in my garden. The base is about 8" under the ground. Weighs approximately 80 lbs,
