Origin of Petrified Forest in Arizona
The Petrified Forest of Arizona lies near Adamana on the Santa Fe line and consists of four petrified forest remains in a National Monument created in 1906. Logs from Triassic time are prostrate and fragmented, preserved by silica and iron oxides, with some trunks over 100 feet long and a natural bridge formed by a large log. The fossil wood, including Araucarioxylon arizonicum, reveals a warm, wet climate in the Southwest with conifers, tree ferns, cycads, and horsetails in abundance.
