  • Petrified wood is one of my favorite fossils and also one of the most recognizable ones but not all petrified is the same. Depending on where its from, the species of tree, and the environment while its fossilizing, it can come in an assortment of colors, shapes and textures.

    Thanks! I hunt within eye shot of my house near the mountains in AZ. There are literally hundreds of washes in the rugged desert near me. A few days ago I found what I thought was petrified wood, but I was not sure. Now I am. It looks like the specimen you showed, same colors and matter. I very much enjoyed learning from you. ;-) This was very helpful to me.

    Hi . I like to constantly learn . Now I know quite a bit about petrifaction and found scientists can force the process somewhat for industrial applications like potentially harder cutting tools. It’s pretty wild to think an organic thing like a tree gets buried and over time the cellular structure gets filled up with silicates and minerals turning onto a stone type thing lime she says . So cool.

    Hi, Love the channel!!!
    I have a question I've moved into a home that had a tree that had fallen and was cut but left the trunk. So in and around and under the tree trunk I have found the most beautiful rocks some are petrified that I can tell and then some are just colored rocks and some look like arrowheads and like tools that they would have used to help sharpen things. It's so weird every time I come out to hunt it's like rocks just appear there when I just was in that area yesterday I don't know. But I'm wondering is this common to be in anyone's backyard. It is located Tampa Fla.

    • @HiHi-ur3on
      @HiHi-ur3on 2 года назад

      The type of wood wouldn't make it sound like glass as the properties would be dependent on the minerals the fossil is composed of. I'd reccommend searching for minerals that can sound like glass and trying to match it up with your specimen. To identify what type of wood it is you would need to study the rings and bark most likely.

      Paul Newman petrified wood is extremely hard and so when it breaks it will leave farely smooth and clean breaks. These were not cut into slabs millions of years ago. If this were the case you would see marks left by saws because saws don't leave clean and smooth cuts

    nice - and generally informative. But (1) it's pronounced dee-sid-you-us and doesn't rhyme with 'hideous'. and (2) both deciduous and coniferous trees have growth rings (it's even easier to count rings on a spruce or pine than on oak or aspen); the rings form during periods of slow growth (fall/winter) and is related to seasonality as somewhat explained in the video..
