Thanks, Darian, Let me know if you'll need coordinates if you get that far. If you get on the hiking path that goes up the north side of Plum Run, you'll go right past them. They're just off the path on the north side. Picture of the nuts in/out of the husk, with a nut split open would help immensely in getting a good ID for these guys. Carl Harting & I found some ripe bitternuts on an island system in the Allegheny River last week, but I've yet to see any new pignuts on the ground yet this year.

To me they don't look like cordiformis - if they're pignut those are some of the most impressive I've seen. I'm occasionally in the area, so I might want to check them out next time I'm around there. It's too bad they didn't core that white oak before they cut it. 211 years isn't nothing - witness trees like that are often the most powerful connections to the past. Darian
