Brief statement of problem and remarks (from collector):
We are having C-14 analysis made on this wood, and need to know what kind of wood is represented. There are no trees in area now, and the wood is probably from Early Holocene Warm Interval about 8,500 years age. Send the wood to Meyer Rubin and the identification results to me.
