Rock Id Help Needed

[bethan40]

Hi,
I found this strange rock? in the woods behind my house in Northern Ohio. It is around 4 inches in length and weighs a little over 1lb. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Beth

I don't believe you have much volcanic rock in Ohio, so I'm guessing that it is a piece of slag.

Could be slag. But it almost looks like a piece of Pect Wood to me.

Petrified wood, I'm sure of it.

You should put it in the fossil forum and see what they say.

Found a lot of similar rocks on the railroad tracks.
