Chestnut Oak (Quercus prinus) leaves have undulating edges. Their leaves are alternate.
Leaf shape is obovate, or egg-shaped and flat with the narrow end at the base. They’re quite the common sight up here in my woods.

I always had a fondness for this tree; growing as it does in the thin soils of steep slopes. The alligator bark is a give a way identification point but location location location always rings my bell. Thank you for high lighting this noble pioneer of our thin soiled higher slopes.,
