Curio Bay petrified forest, #Catlins #PetrifiedForest #NewZealand

Not only is it a thick trunk, it is very dense, as well... quartz, in fact. Notice the hundreds of similar petrified logs strewn across the hills.

Early morning light shines across the Crystal Forest Trail in Petrified Forest National Park.

Le bois pétrifié est une vraie merveille de la Nature ! #PetrifiedForest National Park a une des plus grandes concentrations au monde de cette empreinte minérale de géants d'un autre temps. Le bois devenu pierre prend toutes les couleurs et peut devenir quartz pur. Le plus incroyable est de se dire qu'il était déjà pétrifié quand les T-Rex arpentaient cette Terre !

My kids were so excited to see these petroglyphs in Petrified Forest National Park, and even more excited for the ones they discovered in Saguaro that had no interpretive signs. It’s neat seeing them be excited to learn something about the native cultures that were here before us. #nationalpark #petrifiedforest #saguaro

The Painted Desert in Peteified Forest National Park. The beautiful formations date back to the Triassic period as erosion sculpted the colorful layers of limestone, mudstone, and volcanic ash you see #NationalParks #PetrifiedForest #Painteddesert #AmericaTheBeautiful
