Wood Becomes Stone

Its_gora
Arizona's Petrified Forest is not a forest at all. It is a hauntingly beautiful landscape filled with magnificent specimens of petrified wood. Petrified wood is a wood that has turned into stone. How did this happen? Millions of years ago, the forests covering Northern arizona were buried under a sea of mud, sand, volcanic ash, and and the pressure over a period of time turned the wood into stone, to create a forest of  Stone Trees!!
