Fossilized wood I found in my grandpa’s backyard - is it possible to identify what kind of tree this was?
I found these three rocks under a bush in my grandpa’s backyard—when I showed him he said he had no idea they were there. After showing my dad, he says his best guess is that it could possibly be fossilized ginkgo wood brought back from when my grandpa and grandma took him and my aunts to the Ginkgo Petrified Forest state park when they were young. Ginkgo is my best guess as well, though it could possibly be another kind of petrified wood from the same area. Is it possible to figure out what kind of tree this could have been once just from looking at it?
(A side note, I LOVE the center of the biggest piece, haha. I’m thinking it’s agate(?) with druzy crystal in the very middle, since it sparkles when I hold it in the sunlight)
