    Petrified wood question
    Hi I pick up petrified wood from old railroad tracks and gravel piles , I found the oddest piece the other day , its 2 1/4 inch almost perfect flat on both sides , and a smooth channel where the center would b , looks like I have about a quarter of the rock , its heavy petrified looks like wood or bone , I have never seen anything with the smooth sides and smooth channel , any idea what this is ? Will
