traveltip1 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 I found 4 nice good-size specimens of petrified wood, from the Newark Basin Triassic sedimentary deposits, in southeastern Pennsylvania. Photo shows that all pieces are a light chocolate brown color. There is a quarter coin for scale. These are from the same location where I previously found two large specimens, which I posted a few years ago. This material seems to be rather scarce. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traveltip1 Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 Here are 3 medium size specimens of petrified wood that I found in the Newark Basin Triassic sedimentary deposits in southeastern Pennsylvania. They show a variety of color. Quarter coin is for scale. This material is rather scarce. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey P Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Great finds! Congratulations and thanks for posting it. I have collected Triassic fish fossils in New Jersey, but I have yet to see any petrified wood from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey P Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Very nice! Are those really from PA? I especially like the orange one in the lower left hand corner. Reminds me of a piece I found in Arizona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Pretty neat! I haven't found any petrified wood in the Hartford or Deerfield basins, at all.
