Is this wood petrified?
Found this in the garden, it is always wet-look
Otherwise, does anyone have any idea what it is?

If its petrified it will have all the characteristics of stone.

Looks like a seal that has been seperated from its parents. Poor little thing.

You beat me to it coffenup.
If it was a piece of petrified wood, I doubt you would be able to shift it very far.
Interesting item all the same.If you find you have dug yourself a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.
I just finished child-proofing our house - but they still get inside.

If its petrified it will move away from you if you try to hit it with a mallet

It is quite likely to be Eucalyptus Petriwetti; looks petrified and feels wet.

All a bunch of coproliths to me. Couple of judicious cuts with a hand saw could explain a lot.
