Petrified wood trip in the Triassic of Pennsylvania

[traveltip1]

I enjoyed a productive weekend hunting petrified wood in the Triassic age, approximately 210 mya, Newark Supergroup of Pennsylvania. The first 2 photos show a single specimen's 2 sides, illustrating profuse checking in the wood, and a likely rotten dead limb knot at top.

Specimen weighs 19 pounds.

Being originally from York, PA, I'm curious where in general terms you founds all that nice petrified word.  Many years ago there was supposed to be a site well near York.  You sure don't need to be specific...ha ha.

Congratulations. You certainly had a very productive weekend collecting pet wood. Beautiful specimens there. We see very little of it in the Northeast. Thanks for sharing yours.

Very nice finds!  19 lbs for a piece of pet wood. Wow!!

I know about where you were. I've been in that area a lot over the years. Used to live in Harrisburg, but now I'm in Hanover PA. 

I always found good fossils in Perry and Juniata counties. Thinking about going up there this weekend.
