Attached are pics of bark, rings (70 year old 18 inch tree), and split, as well as my thoughts on what it is, but.... I will let the resident experts confirm it for me.

According to all my books they're 2 separate trees. Can be similar with bark & leaves sometimes though.Nuts are smaller & not very good to eat either what others have told me.I'm happy to scrounge a 3 gallon bucket worth of shagbark nuts every Fall before the rodents do! ;-P Damn good eating,bake them in bread/cookies or toss a few in your morning cereal.

Tree has been down since before leaf out, I am just cleaning up what the crews left behind. Either way it'll burn.
