I would suggest taking it to the local botanical gardens in your hometown and asking them.  They could possibly at least make an identification as to what species the pine cone is, and possibly direct you to resources dealing with that plant.*p*Frankly, without seeing it, we can say it's a pine cone, but that's about it.*p*Daven*p*Taliesin2 wrote,*br*: Wasn't quite sure where to post this. Yesterday *br*: while walking home I found a pine cone. And its *br*: was a very unique one. The tips of the cone *br*: underneath were naturally white. Yet the tips also *br*: have what I'm calling tears (most likely *br*: crystalized sap?). I live in N. Virginia, which is *br*: famous for its red clay dirt. I am going to assume *br*: that the whiteness of the tips is in part from the *br*: nutrients of the clay, but I'm wondering if there *br*: is a particular genus of pine tree that has cones *br*: like the one I described above. Does anybody have *br*: feedback on this? And do you have any lnks where I *br*: can research pine trees and their pine cones? TIA*br*
