***About Petrified Logs: Petrified logs, such as those seen in the image, are ancient trees that have been fossilized over time. This process occurs when wood becomes buried under sediment and is initially preserved due to a lack of oxygen. Mineral-rich water flowing through the sediment deposits minerals in the plant's cells, and as the wood decays, it’s replaced with minerals like quartz, ultimately turning it into stone. These logs provide a fascinating look into the biological and geological history of a region, often dating back millions of years. Petrified wood is commonly found in areas known for volcanic activity where silica-rich ash can aid in the preservation and petrification process.
