I found this two weeks ago in Alabama, 2 miles from the Chattahoochee River near Fort Mitchell, Alabama. I was searching gravel bars in Uchee Creek for petrified wood when I found this in the forest on my way back to my vehicle. It is 8″ in height and averages 6″ wide at different points. I first identified it as petrified wood, but after researching vertebrate fossils in the area, I thought maybe it could be a hadrosaur bone fragment, possibly part of humerus, though I still believe its petrified/fossilized wood. There are no other rocks or stone in that forest, and any rock or stone in Uchee Creek is pebble size (very muddy river and cuts). The forest floods quite often during wet periods, so there is little ground cover. Photo 1: Front Photo 2: back Photo 3: base/bottom Photo 4: lying down, profile
