oak tree is changing it's mind about what species it is!

Anybody ever seen this before? I have an old and mature white oak on my place....one of the few....and I noticed today in a few places there seems to be a flush of new growth but the leaves look more like swamp white oak leaves....and NOT the typical white oak leaves it has elsewhere..... I don't have ANY swamp white oak in the area that I am aware of and I have never seen this before. When I first saw it I thought I had a seedling growing up into the white oak...I double and triple checked and that is NOT the case.

Has the tree been watching "Keeping up with the Kardashians?"

Actually...when I saw this....I joked about it. I said, "OK...Bruce...what the F is this all about?"
