Walt, The charred wood came from a forest that grew in the basin of the pipe and then through natural process (lightning) burned.

Any trees that were standing when pipes emplaced themselves
were vaporized by the wrath of mother nature.

Thanks Walt,great read as usual; Rex really came to mind when I read

"I recently had a talk with a belgian geo who is really up on kimberlites
diamonds etc and he thinks alot more discovers will be made and that
older pipes may have been altered and harder to find and that diamonds
may be found in old paleo channels."
Sincerely
gg

Hi Walt,
would a paleochannnel be an ancient riverbed and any diamonds
found be the result of a kimberlite pipe being in the path
of the waterway, causing it's top to erode down ?
