Photos and information on petrified forest


Photos and information on petrified forest




Imagine walking in the natural place to save time since the days of the dinosaurs
Surrounded by the same trees that surround them for hundreds of centuries!


This place already exists in Arizona-United States
Where is the petrified forest, one of the most important sites in the world
They contain important and valuable fossils millions of years ago!





These fossilized logs in the picture
The green trees surrounded by dinosaurs and anonymous objects
In the Triassic since time immemorial, from 225 million a year!
(There is no error number)

But how petrified trees?
And what insulting their survival all these years?

These trees were formed and saved all this time under ash and volcanic mud where scientists say:
That volcanic eruptions have been uprooted this tree and she fill up her to lie under volcanic sediments for millions of years
To petrify very slowly over the years,
And then over time the area was covered with salt water
As part of the Pacific Ocean, but turned to rivers flowing
Led to the erosion of some 2,600 feet of volcanic deposits
His appearance slowly Petrified tree trunks carrying us fragrant distant past







Volcanic sediments reacted with tree trunks into a transparent, quartz stone
But the minerals deposited from water that has passed in time gave the stones pink tinge
To varying degrees, as we see in the pictures:







There is no doubt that there are millions of tree stumps that remain buried under volcanic sediment blocks
Also there are a lot of objects that petrified and preserved by volcanic ash and mud,
Botanists have discovered about 150 species of plants
That this area was once a tropical region
Full of trees and exotic objects,
They also discovered animals animal-like creeping alarmadlo
We know today.
Scientists continue to try to explore and probe this mysterious region and discover more fossils
You know more past our planet Earth.
