Petrified Forest National Park is located in Navajo and Apache counties in northeastern Arizona. This National Park is famous for it's fossils, especially the PETRIFIED WOOD fossils that lived in the Late Triassic period of the Mesozoic era.
Much of the park’s petrified wood is from Araucarioxylon arizonicum trees, while some found in the northern part of the park is from Woodworthia arizonica and Schilderia adamanica trees. The log is still retaining it's old shape, but the inside is not the same anymore. It is now filled with some mineral because of the long time burial in the sediment containing volcanic ash. It formed Quartz crystal that replaced the organic matter.
So let's see the quartz crystal, uups the Petrified Forest National Park...
