Really cool A. Leland was explaining how it actually works. There's no wood in there anymore, it makes a mold for the minerals. Neat!

There are the two big pieces and a few smaller ones. He's cleaned them up some since I took that photo. <br /><br />It's hard for me to believe that it's just been there-- where he found it-- for zillions of years. We do have petrified forest in Mississippi. But not around here. <br /><br />Anyway-- it is absolutely amazing! And a bit of a mystery.Maricahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03856090571383020938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3777488274698041989.post-25602317285609933202014-04-22T18:08:25.816-05:002014-04-22T18:08:25.816-05:00WOW! Petrified wood!
There's probably more ...WOW! Petrified wood! <br /><br />There's probably more down there...hope you don't run into it while plowing up the area! Not good for tools but very very cool!<br /><br />I have a piece - somewhere - that we bought while visiting the Petrified Forest National Park some 50 + years ago. Prettier than yours appears to be, but then it had been cut and one side polished. And no doubt, had been one specially selected for the purpose. <br /><br />Pretty or not - absolutely amazing, no??sueknoreply@blogger.com
