This shows the image in better clarity- and shows it to be geological not woodological
I can't help but wonder... It still appears to be a piece of wood. Was it sampled? If it's thousands or millions of years old, is it possible that it's a piece of petrified wood? If so, would the samples be able to discern this, or would the mineral counter peg while the life-counter came up empty?

Without further info, my curiosity will remain piqued.



For obvious reasons...



Petrified wood from the Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park, Washington State, USA
