possibly black Ash also sometimes called swamp ash , water ash , river ash or basket ash.
however it could also just be a higher water content . weigh a piece now write the weight on it and check again next fall after storing in a dry place.

I've taken over 100 full cord of dead ash from the woods over 7 years. There was, one standing in the creek near my landing / splitting area that I was always going to take when the time was right. The time was right a couple weeks ago. It had the tightest rings of any of the ash I had taken to date. It was indeed oak like density. This tree had been dead standing, not so much as a sucker, for at least 5 years, and as dry as anything I've cut from a standing treeIt's not so much the size, but the wood reminds me of oak it is so dense.
Sad every ash tree is dead on my place I don't like to burn ash much but I am going to cut some big ones tomorrow going to try and use as much up as I can in the outdoor furnace our kids will never see a big one again I think this is the end for them ,
