This is something I picked up a couple weeks ago while visiting Cathy Friend at her Ranch. This is a new material being dug 2 years ago from the McDonald Ranch. This is from thier new Angel Wing locality. This specific piece has some outstanding dense, dark plumes, and even a tilt band on the reverse side. There's plenty of material to cut a few more slabs if you wish, but I polished the face as a specimen piece.

Petrified Wood

Even though Petrified wood could be called a fossil, I'll still keep an area just for wood specimens.

 
 
 
 
This is a fantastic piece of Petrified Wood. On a sad note I do not know where this piece came from, however I would guess Washington State. As you can see in the enlarged picture is has (2) Hearts and very tight, fine growth ring banding. This is a very nice specimen. Also note, this is a thinner heel type specimen and the item is roughly 1-1/2" thick.
