Callixylon tree

The Callixylon tree is a 250,000,000 year old petrified tree stump discovered by John Fitts in a field in 1913. This stump is reputed to be the largest stump of Callixylon in the world.

The Callixylon tree was discovered by John Fitts in 1913 at a farm near Goose Creek, south of Jesse, Oklahoma, in section 26, T. 1 N., R. 7 E. The fossil was found near the Giant Fitts Oilfield. The petrified stump was the largest of its species to ever be discovered. The Callixylon tree is an example of Callixylon whiteanum, a species of extinct trees found in the late Devonian period. It was later discovered to be a member of the same family as the genus Archaeopteris. It was a series of pieces that were eventually reconstructed to form a full eight foot tall stump.
