Name:Peanut Wood – a few varieties of wood including conifers
Conifer Division: Pinophyta
Age: Cretaceous
Size (25.4mm=1 inch): The round is 8 ½” x 6 ¼”
Fossil Location: Windalia Radiolarite, Kennedy Range, Western Australia
Comments: Peanut wood has a unique history. During the Cretaceous, the wood was washed into the ocean as driftwood. There a shellfish bivalve called Teredo, which bore into the wood, attacked it. When the wood became waterlogged it settled into the bottom of the ocean, got covered with mud and began the process of petrification. The white markings are the boreholes of the shellfish. The wood generally is black with the boreholes white. It is strikingly attractive, with a modern appearance, like an abstract impressionistic work of art.

Name: Tiatea singulari
Conifer Division: Pteridophyta
Age: Permian
Size (25.4mm=1 inch): The fern round is 6” in diameter
Fossil Location: Araguaina Petrified forest, Babaculandia, Maranhao Province, Brazil
Comments: Beautiful and fascinating, the Tiatea fern rounds are quite different from modern hard wood rounds. Note the shades of pink, brown, off–whites and outer bark. The front is highly polished, the backside finely cut, not polished. In cross section, tree fern stems consisted of a narrow cylinder composed of vascular tissue. Enclosing this cylinder was a mantle of petioles and aerial roots, which created a fibrous, tough, lightweight structure Tietea is the stem of a marattialean tree fern from the Permian of Brazil much like Psaronius. In cross-section the two tree ferns have the same basic structure, but they can be distinguished. Whereas the vascular tissue is in strands at the center of the Psaronius stem the vascular tissue in the center of Tietea is found as round, ovoid, or C-shaped bundles

Name: Conifer
Conifer Division: Pinophyta Class: Pinopsida
Age: Miocene
Size (25.4mm=1 inch): The wood round measures 7 ½ x 5”
Fossil Location: Miles, Queensland, Australia
Comments: The petrified wood common to this area of Australia is known as 'Chinchilla Red' because of its unique color and quality of preservation. Take note of the spectacular preservation of the tree rings and cellular structure. Most petrified wood loses these structural components during the process of petrification. This finely polished and lustrous specimen shows a wide array of colorful red, brown, and tan hues. It would make a unique decorative piece, or splendid addition to your fossil collection

Name: Platanus wyomingensis (sycamore)
Age:Eocene
Size (25.4mm=1 inch): The fossil leaf is 4 1/8” in length, on a 4” x 5 ¾” irregular shaped plate.
Fossil Location: Parachute Creek Member, Green River Formation, Bonanza Area, Utah
Comments: The Platanus found in the Green River Formation have between three to eight lobes. This is a three lobed specimen. It exhibits a deep dark chocolate color, contrasting beautifully against the gray matrix. The venation is excellent and most of the petiole is intact. The Green River Formation is known for the excellent quality of preservation of its fossils. This leaf is no exception. It is one of the most representative of all the fossil leave species found in the Green River Formation. It is beautifully detailed, with excellent color and contrast. Note the excellent venation and long fully complete petiole. The plate is solid and would make a nice display or collection piece. I’ve never seen a more perfectly preserved specimen of this species
