I recently just visited the University of Utah and they have a large display of petrified wood from all over. Here are some of them.935F2D3A-CE52-408A-BD5E-A583E5EC456C.thumb.jpeg.1c09a1effae7a9858d36762c74986f10.jpeg

Unfortunately, the glass case they had these in was very reflective so bare with me.

I quite like the red one as you can see the growth rings.

There’s clam borings on this one which means this had to have been in the water for a decent amount of time then sank and was preserved which is very cool to see. If I had to choose one to take home, this would be it. It too, has growth rings preserved quite nicely.

Very pretty and very interesting. :)

How great to have a section dedicated to fossilized wood.

And the variety of localities they are from is amazing.

Love this one with the knots and different cross section view than the typical round trunk slice.

I found it pleasing as well. It looks more analogous to modern wood to me then the others.
