I spotted this tree today, and I can't figure it out.
In the sample picture below, I believe that is a small branch, with pinnately compound leaves attached. If this is bipinnately compound, then each leaf will be HUGE, since the pictured item is 20" long, and I cut it off a much longer stem bearing identical leaves.
Please notice that the pinnately compound leaves have alternating leaflets as well as alternating leaves on the branch. So far, I have not been able to find any trees with that feature. Each leaflet is 2" minimum, 3" max.

Sorry, I didn't get a picture of the tree, the lighting was pretty poor. Imagine a 45' tall tree, shaped somewhat like a walnut, with furrowed bark that isn't quite like a walnut. In fact, it has a black walnut tree right beside it.
I did not find any fruit or seeds to help the id. I will try again later today to get a better picture of the whole tree, but it is in a thicket of other trees and my phone takes poor pictures when it is aimed at the sky.
