Description
A beautiful natural abstract in a close-up look at one of the exquisitely colorful petrified logs of The Crystal Forest at Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona.
According to the National Park Service, the trees at the Petrified Forest lived over 200 million years ago. The trees fell, and swollen streams washed them into adjacent floodplains. A mice of silt, mud, and volcanic ash from distant volcanoes buried the logs. This sediment cut off oxygen and slowed the logs' decay. Then, silica-laden groundwater seeped through the logs, replacing the original wood tissues with silica and petrifying the logs.
