This unusual piece of petrified wood was donated by Robert Taylor from the collection of his father Charles Taylor. It appears to have been fungus infected (the grainy rotten areas with hyphae--the very fine light colored branching lines). After burial, the organic material was replaced by chalcedony--fibrous microscopic to submicroscopic crystals of quartz. The location and age are unknown. |
