Ran up on a few boulders of petrified wood (cypress) while I was out wandering around way back in the swamp today. Went about as far on water as my boat could go and got out on land to scope out a camping spot. I started walking down this wild hog trail for a ways, past a few very fresh wollows, turned around and grabbed my tomahawk, proceeded to the route and then one thing lead to another and there I was standing on top of these curious shaped rocks thinking to myself, "what the deuce are these doing here?". The wood grain is still visible in areas. I'm 100% certain that these are not stones put here by man.

This is the first time I've ever found anything like this in the swamp before, so I'm stoked. I wouldn't move it from where it sits or disturb it if someone held me at gunpoint. Things like this are what makes this place what it is.
