Good eye, Eric--you sure know your oaks!!
Some Quercus alba, eastern white oaks with this dbh would be twice the height, with more upright branches. This one may be more decurrent due to the site--fully exposed--and perhaps genetic variation. It may have hybridized with post oak or some other white oak.
Many big spreading branches. 6 of them, growing to the NE, in and above the wound died. Sure would like to know the cause. I hate being this clueless--no viable theory.
