Description

Conifer petrified wood limb with pocket rot (Pinales Order)
Miocene, Chalk Lake Formation
"The Bruneau Wood Pile"
Bruneau, Idaho
This outstanding limb section has GREAT PRESERVATION, NICE WOODY CHARACTER and it is priced right.  This is a specimen that will be immediately recognized as petrified wood by even the most novice of observers.
This one is cut and polished on one end so that you can see the excellent preservation.
It is somewhat unique in that it is permineralized by the mineral francolite, a member of the apatite group.  This contrasts with the more typical petrified wood that is permineralized by the silica mineral, chalcedony.
It is a limb of a conifer - enlarge the face-on photo and note the pocket rot occurring along some of the growth rings.
It measures  1.25" x 1" on the polished face and it is 2" in length.
