Petrified Wood

[Dharmacy]

Here are some pieces of petrified wood from back when I lived in Alabama. These came from quarries where they were surface mining for coal.

Beautiful stuff! I especially like the pieces with the dimples.

The stuff with the dimples looks like petrified coral.
Very nice pieces.

There is a wood that has dimples like that, but I cannot remember the name of it. The roots have the round dimples & the bark has diamond shaped dimples.

This is the extinct species of trees.

It reminds me of cholla wood or ocotillo root skeletons.

Looks like one of those rain makers.

That's awesome, I thought it was some kind of giant fern stalk.

I always liked these fossils. You see samples for sale every so often, & they bring some extra cash. Here is a good example.
