traveltip1 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) 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.) Edited August 22, 2012 by traveltip1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamalama Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 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. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.
