Description
Here's an interesting opportunity for petrified wood collectors seeking odd mineralizations. There are numerous minerals that can petrify wood and the silicates chalcedony/agate/opal are by far the most prevalent. But the iron oxide mineral limonite, not so much. We are aware of only a few localities where this limonite mineralization occurs. The specimen offered here is really a limb cast of limonite and sand mixture fossilized in Late Cretaceous strata. It exhibits excellent wood grain character on one surface that would have been the periphery of a very large tree trunk. This specimen measures 4 x 2.5 inches on the face showing wood grain character and 1.25 inches in thickness. It hasnot
been cut for polishing - our experience is that it would not take a very lustrous polish!
We specialize in petrified wood and plant fossils which are accurately identified as to locality of origin and family, genus or species. We don’t guess and when we don’t know, we say so! Your specimen will come with a label identifying the specimen, the locality where it was collected, the formation and age of the material and any other pertinent information we have gleaned from our literature search.
