me: Acer saccharum or Quercus velutina
You: Aren't these species of trees??

Yes, they are. (Sugar Maple and Black Oak, the two most prevalent trees in Western VT and NE NY.) In other words, "Champy" is most logically and likely driftwood.

To another of your points, you stated "evolution is about origins." It is most decidedly, not. It addresses "origins of species," but not "origins." Abiogenesis attempts to handle that. So does Genesis. And many other equally ancient religious texts.

Sorry, I see that you have already posted what I found. Slow on the trigger.

To say Champy is "Driftwood" ignores eyewitness testimony.
