Yup definite palm root. Some Beaumont TX boys I met at Woodward one year gave me a slab of exactly the same type from their area. That one was opalized rather than agatized but very similar.....Mel

For comparison, here's a pic ( taken wet) of the opalized SE Texas slab I got from the Beaumont boys. This one is from where the fiber meets the roots...Mel

Well, that pic certainly removes any doubt. Strangely enough, that piece was part of a collection I picked up near Beaumont. Could have been one of your Beaumont boys, because there was also a quantity of Woodward material in the lot. Tumble size material though, and I'm not a tumbler.
