    How Cities Will Fossilize.

    From BBC News : How cities will fossilise - BBC Future
  3. My interest is in current earth conditions that would be amenable to the creation of fossils, specifically petrified wood. I want to place wood in a position where it will be likely to form petrified wood at some point in the distant future for an artistic project. I am not a scientist, although I am reasonably scientifically literate. Nevertheless, there may be blind spots in my assumptions here. I would love to hear any thoughts that forum members might have. I would imagine a group of experienced fossil hunters might have a good idea of what past conditions have been good for fossilization. It may be strange to ask but oddly topical as well - humans have been doing a lot of musing on the future fossils they are creating now. I have done a lot of research to this end, but have not found anything definitive. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right place. What I have managed to glean indicates that wood placed in sediments rich in silica may fossilize. This is very broad, but it is a start. My first thought was recent volcanic ash deposits like near Mt St Helens, but due to the cataclysm that laid the ash, there is likely to be a lot of wood in those deposits well situated to fossilize. I would prefer a situation where the petrified wood would be unusual and likely to stand out to the future intelligent being encountering the piece. There are many valleys in Nevada with non-draining basins that have seasonal lakes, and many of these are reasonably rich in silica, being derived from surrounding mountain ranges that are composed of silica-rich rock. This might be a good location, although I am still wondering about depth of placement, best soil moisture levels, and whether the alkaline conditions would be a problem. Another idea for a place would be a Volcanic Ash Flow Vernal Pool such as Boggs Lake in California. I am not sure what the pH of this soil is- fresh volcanic ash can be very acidic, but this would leach out over time, possibly creating an alkaline situation as the closed lake basin accumulates salts. Any help would be very much appreciated! I am looking for places in the western US, but really any place given as an example would be helpful. Daniel
