Might be from an Ozark Chinquapin. Wood was probably very similar to a Chestnut, of which it is a cousin. I still see small trees here but they never get very big as they suffer from the same blight as the Chestnut. They get to a small tree or large bush and then die back, and then sprout from the roots and go through the cycle again. Found on on my place last fall that was bearing nuts. miles
