Big one too. Crush the leaves, smell should give it away.

What should it smell like? I never ran across these before.

That is hard to describe, has a pungent, different smell. Sassafras has a certain smell, Catalpa too. This one has its own.

Generally kinda unpleasant, walnut looks similar but smells like, well, walnut.

Your dog barfed out moldy peanut butter and peppercorns that fermented in his gut and then dried out on your lawn. It smells distinctive.

I don't think I've ever seen one that dark of green nice one

Not Ailanthus (Tree of Heaven, Stinking Sumac, etc...).

They have an even number of leavlets... normally don't have a single 'terminal' leaflet on the leaves. Also the leaflets are "truncate" at the bast (cut off - don't have a nice even taper from wide to the stem). I've seen that referred to as a 'tooth' at the base of the leaf.

That would have serrations on the leaflets...right?

That looks nothing like a Rowan from the photos

Agrees on the non-paired terminal leaf in the cluster

What about butter nut?

Leaves are reminiscent of a Caucasian wingnut ...

What do you see on the ground? Any fruit / nuts that might help ID?

Some type of Rhus?
