Spalting is streaking in wood caused by a fungus. It's a nice pattern on turned bowls, furniture, etc.
Splatting is what happens when you cut the limb off a tree when harnessed to it. Usually preceded by "AAHHH!"

I find a lot of it in dead standing oak and oak that is ravaged by carpenter ants.
Usually when the rounds are split it tends to dry up - wood can be a little bit soft and faster burning sometimes, too.
Just another of nature's decomposition processes.
