what type of oak is this? Thanks
 
Looks like black walnut
 
Looks like some variety of red oak.
 
Its oak, its red.
Get a better pic of a leaf or two if you want to narrow it down more.

Or, look it up...

Bur oak, every last inch of it. I see some red oak leaves on the ground, but the tree in question isn't a red. Bark is too furrowed and scaley, and too thick.

Looks like a few raspberries, too.

White Oak
 
I also say it’s white oak
 
My guess is bur oak or chestnut oak.
 
Makes great firewood, just takes awhile around our parts to dry-

That is a fantastic guide. I had no idea there was that many types of oak in Missouri!

Thank you very much. I am going to save that.
 
Going to dry a lot faster if it is split and left in the sun and wind. Wife always wants to get it split and piled so the wood yard looks "neater
