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.)

Wow, those are some nice pieces indeed. Even though I live in the middle of Newark Supergroup rocks I've never really gotten into collecting in them.
