Petrified wood identification?

I found this piece of petrified wood in the mudbank of a small stream in central Ohio, but have no idea what it is. It's quite large (golf ball for scale) and has lots of dimples where branches probably were. If you can help, I'd like to know: What species is it? How old is it? Is it worth anything? Thanks to anyone who can help.

Hi. Dug this out of my back yard one day years ago. Could anyone tell me how I would go about identifying it? Should I try to clean it up? I really like the patterns on it. It even has a knot where there was a branch connected. Also, why is it this shape?

To buy or not to buy

Hi all, I’ve been searching for the perfect petrified wood coffee table for over a year now and came across this one in a local shop. It measures 130cm x 100cm and comes from Indonesia apparently.

You can’t see it in the photo but has this super shiny / glittery type of minerals in it which I’ve never seen in another piece previously (apologies if I come off as an amateur here).

Can anyone please advise me about it and whether the USD 2k price tag is worth it?
