If the cap covers the acorn like it looks like it does it's an overcup oak.

Overcup

Only overcup I've ever seen, the cup completely covered the acorn. I wanna see the leaf if ya got a pic. Also, that looks like a ridge he's sittin on. If it came from there, it'd be the first overcup I've ever seen that grew more than 20ft. away from a swamp.

Over cup. Deer don't prefer them, but they will eat them eventually.
