Question by amos: how much is a fossilized beehive worth?
i have a whole fossilized beehive (could be a wasp, its got all the hexagons). is this rare, is it worth anything. also how rare is it to find petrified wood in northeast ohio and is it worth anything?
Add your own answer in the comments!
But I bet your hexagons only have 5 sides like a pentagon, right? Those are most likely coral, and it’s probably some of the fairly common ones from (most likely) the Devonian Period. Google for images of “Favosites” and see if that looks like what you have. http://images.google.com/images?&hl=en&num=100&btnG=Google+Search&lr=&as_ft=i&as_qdr=all&as_dt=i&as_rights=&safe=off&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi&q=Favosites
The “wood” could be one of several corals, then again there is a small chance it is actual petrified wood, which is common in other areas. If you found them in the same area, they are both pretty sure to be corals though. Cnidarians are very common fossils in that general area.
