We found another place to collect and hit the jack pot on pet wood today. The sep nods aren't anything of museum quality but very cool just the same and amazing to find. I did find the smallest septarian nodule ever today, about the size of an egg, which is a first for me.
This is the third place we've found pet wood around the property so I'm really pumped about new hunting areas. Petrified wood is one of my favorites and it's a beautiful transformation. I'm worn out right now but I'll get it all washed up tomorrow and post pics. Some of the pet wood is gorgeous! I should have taken a better pack, more food and some dang coffee. -------------------- Level 2 member -12/25/16

These are all pics from yesterday. Some of the sep nods and a table of pet wood.
My wife had found a piece of pet wood out there while hiking the dogs so we went to check it out. We hiked in on the uphill side and started scanning the area. Wasn't long before we found the first sep nod, then another, then another. We dug a few of those up and searched around some more, then worked our way on down further. Once at the new pet wood spot we spent hours picking up what we could find and the area became bigger and bigger as we went along and as we found more. I've noticed that the soil is different where I find sep nods than the average Colorado dirt. It's almost like a super fine grain clay/talc dust mix and I wonder what's in that layer that makes it so different. -------------------- Level 2 member -12/25/16
