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.)

The second specimen is a bit smaller than the first one.

Here are several smaller specimens, showing a variety of mineralizations/fossilizations.

Very nice and unusual fossils, even for PA. You have a good bunch of outcrops there south of Harrisburg.

Nice pieces indeed. Do you find much other plant material? I don't often head out that way. More often working the Triassic group deposits east of you. Wouldn't mind doing a couple hunts out that way.
