CHALCEDONY CAST OF TREE ROOT from Texas Springs, NV Polished Petrified Wood

Description

Chalcedony (agate) cast of tree root (
Incertae sedis
)
Trout Creek Formation, Miocene
Texas Springs, Nevada
This is a really excellent root cast with some of the emanating rootlets leading off at steep angles (up to 90 degrees).  Texas Springs has long been a favorite locality for pink "limb" casts although most of those limbs are in fact root casts.  This is a great example of the root morphology with rootlets going off in disparate directions.  It is not pink but it is a polished specimen (see our photo of the polished end of this specimen).  There is no remaining anatomical structure preserved in the specimen - it is indeed a cast.  If you seek the unusual and unique for your collection, this is a nice addition to your collection.   It measures
1.5” x 1" on the polished face (cross section) and it is 4” in length.
