Zombo2000 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) The two on the bottom I'm quite sure are petrified wood. Not sure about the large one on top. Any ideas? Is that quartz or resin on the left side of this one? Edited June 27, 2020 by Zombo2000 Images Not Loading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_day Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Photos are showing now, at least for me. None of those look like petrified wood to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I can understand why you might think the specimen in the last photo is petrified wood. But I don't believe any of the pieces shown in the photos are. Hard to tell for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisski Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 These rocks, especially phot #2 looks like gneiss. This is just a fancy name to a metamorphic rock that has been pressurized, heated, and now looks like taffy. Gneiss is just a subtype of one of the three types of rock. Its pretty commons.

4meter Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Based on the close up photos: Sample 1 is a Gneiss; Samples 2, 3 & 4 are Sedimentary rocks. # 2 & 3 are an iron rich mudstones and # 4 is a silty shale. Nice samples to add to your rock collection. Thanks for sharing with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
