Petrified Wood from Triassic of southeastern Pennsylvania
traveltip1 posted a topic in Member Collections
This display contains 100+ specimens of the best petrified wood that I found, during more than a decade of fossil-hunting, in the Triassic age Newark Basin of southeastern Pennsylvania. The material is scarce. I have plenty more smaller pieces. The shelves dimensions are 6 feet x 5 feet x 1 foot.

Can anyone recognize where these silicified wood might be from and the age? I bought them in Taiwan but they come with no information. Thanks in advance!

More Petrified Wood From The Triassic In Pennsylvania
traveltip1 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Recently I had a pretty decent day hunting the scarce petrified wood in the Triassic (Newark supergroup) of southeastern Pennsylvania. The largest piece in the photo weighs 13.5 lbs (6.1 kilos). It was the first specimen found in the first 5 minutes of the hunt, so I was hoping a good day would follow. And more nice wood did follow that first one. As usual, most pieces have a brownish hue, and the silica sparkles a bit. No agatized wood. Scale bar at photo bottom is 4 inches (10.16 cm).

I found another new site for Triassic petrified wood in Pennsylvania. I am sure this location has never been hunted. The following specimens are very similar to what I've found elsewhere in PA Triassic. Scale bar is 4 inches (10+ cm).

Petrified Wood - Triassic Newark Supergroup - New Site In Pa
traveltip1 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
I found more petrified (silicified) wood at a new site in the Triassic Newark Supergroup of S.E. Pennsylvania. Almost all specimens show good grain patterns and are a nice dark chocolate color. Yummy. Attached is a photo of the larger specimens that I collected. The scale bar is 4 inches. (I have posted other similar pet wood photos in previous topics.)

I found some more petrified wood in the Triassic Newark supergroup in Pennsylvania. 2 big chunks, a light chocolate brown color. And many smaller pieces. The photos are in these first 3 posts. This first, largest specimen measures 16x12x6 inches (41x30x15 centimeters). (Inch and centimeter scales are on the ruler in the photos.)

"Petrified", permineralized, silicified wood from Triassic Newark supergroup in Pennsylvania. Probably Araucarioxylon; same genus as in Arizona Petrified Forest national park. Some specimens have dark lignite on surface. For scale: silver discs in photo are USA quarter coins (0.995 inch or 2.42 centimeters in diameter).
