petrified wood

Postby Red Oak » Sun Mar 29, 2015 1:53 pm

I was walking around the place on the Brazos Breaks yesterday with the surveyor and found petrified wood scattered in with the gravel and gypsum eroding out of the bluffs, I thought it was kind of interesting.

Neat. I haven't seen any petrified wood in many years. Are you collecting it?

I remember going to the Petrified Forest with my Grandparents when I was in high school. Isn't it out around the Grand Canyon somewhere?

I used to find fossils of all kind and petrified wood when my grandparents had a cabin at Lake Whitney.

don't know anything about the Brazos Breaks Bluffs but if a Bluff is what I'm thinking it is then stuff might be washing down all the time if it ever rains in the area .

A little research turned up the possibility of a good chance of large animal fossils in the area.

We have several pieces of petrified wood that came from the Glen Rose area.

The national park is in Arizona, CM.

Petrified Forest is on the north side of I-40 east of the Meteor Impact Crater, I'll be driving past them again in a couple weeks .
It's ok if you disagree with me.

We visited the meteor site. That's a dud stop! The graphics in the movie are circa 1950. :x
All was not lost as we had a little walk to break up the road trip.
