Notes
Tree ring research. (exact species not known) Notes from Dr. Scott Singleton, Houston Museum: Oak Family: Deschutes Co., near Deschutes River, Oregon Formation: Deschutes Fm. Age: Pliocene, ~4-5 million years Distinguishing Characteristics: Oak is one of the easiest woods to identify because of its thick rays, large vessels at the growth ring boundary, and "streaming" smaller vessels in the late wood. The large rays are conspicuous to the eye and are separated by a large letter O.
