Not wood. Looks like a piece with lots of ancient shell fragments in it. Very interesting specimen. Don

Yeah, yet another trade name for Indian Coquina which is a sort of silicified limestone with lots of tiny coquina clam shell fragments. Other common names for the same material are Arabic Writing stone and Indian script stone.....Mel
