PETRIFIED WOOD
Petrified Wood from East Washington state, USA
The process of petrification begins with three raw ingredients: wood, water and mud. Petrification of wood found began during the Triassic Period when the primitive conifers fell to the ground and into the waterways on a journey through time. The logs were swept and tumbled downstream with sediment and other debris. The streams travelled through a plain of lakes and swamps where wood, sediment and debris were deposited along the way.
