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

Nice stuff! I don't understand the nodules' patterns, but they so seem to be grouped together at times. Ryan and I were out southeast of pueblo this weekend and found a crazy area of nodules. No calcites as big as my first monster, but more in the 1-3" cube range than I've ever seen before. And that was just surface finds.... Hopefully you hit a terrific spot like that! Ryan also found what we thought was a huge chunk of pet wood in a gravel bed. maybe he will post a picture once it's clean.
