I have trouble sometimes identifying trees when they still have their bark and leaves, let alone something thousands of years old after silicification.
Your tumbled rocks are lovely. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone I need to get more polishing done. I've been working so much that all I've run lately is stage 1 and 2 stones. I have a set of sodalite that's ready for pre-polish, so that should be the next set of (hopefully) shinies. @geig I'm pretty good with tree ids when they're alive but clueless with the non palm petrified pieces. I found this fossil long long ago (in a galaxy far far away...) I always thought it was an impression of an elm seed pod.

Oh, I didn't see these when they were posted. I guess I was pre-occupied then.
You got it down, this tumbling thing. Real good actually. And the material is all really clean.
The lakers are interesting to me because I don't see those.
And you get a good variety of Agates. These were self-collected? That is great work if so.
Even if not then your polish is great and now you can polish anything.
I like the Dino bone that is big and kind of looks (blue?) in the middle of the last pic.
I think we had lots of Dino's in the Arizona neighborhood near Vegas.
I need to find some of that.
Also I didn't know how the Pet Palm wood looked when tumbled. Now I have a better idea.
