3 years, 8 months ago3 years, 8 months agoIllinois sucks for fossil hunting! I wanna find dinosaur bones. Apparently nobody has found dinosaur bones here. Maybe I can be the first setting the bar a little high but what the heck a girl can dream!

If you never try you’ll never know!

3 years, 8 months ago3 years, 8 months agoProcess. Permineralization, a type of fossilization, involves deposits of minerals within the cells of organisms. Water from the ground, lakes, or oceans seeps into the pores of organic tissue and forms a crystal cast with deposited minerals. Crystals begin to form in the porous cell walls

Hi @shannon-olczak let’s see if @mackenzie-smith can help you identify this!
that would be great! Thank you
@mackenzie-ross-2 and @shannon-olczak sadly I cannot. All I can say is that it’s wood. Identification for petrified wood requires preserved cellular details and prepared slides via thin-section or cellulose acetate peels. I’m sorry, it’s just the nature of wood ID.
thank you! Is it common to have iron in fossilized wood? cause I’m pretty sure this one does
