What Can This Be?

January 2nd, 2013
Found this nut and am wondering what kind it can be. It looks like a rather large but stubby shaped acorn but I am not sure. Any help from someone who knows about trees would be helpful.

according to the Field Guide to Trees it is a Burr Oak

Resembles the acorn from a sawtooth oak tree, but the acorn from the sawtooth is larger in comparison to the "stuff" on top. Also, the "stuff" on the top of the sawtooth oak is more defined and not quite as wild.

SO COOL!!!! No idea what it is, but Burr Oak sounds like an apropos name!

You can go on a site called iSpot and have nature objects identified for you. It's a lovely shot with a nice de-focused background, which makes the plant stand out well.

@wadazomo thanks a lot for that. Was seriously thinking about tasting it to see what kind of nut it was but now I don't have to. =P @tommiel @medusa thanks for the suggestion @amandalomonaco @hopess13 thanks
