How does petrification take place?
Petrified wood forms when fallen trees get washed down a river and buried under layers of mud, ash from volcanoes and other materials. Over millions of years, these minerals crystallize within the wood’s cellular structure forming the stone-like material known as petrified wood.
What are fossils and where can they be found?
Fossils are mostly found where sedimentary rocks of the right age are exposed, such as river valleys, cliffs and hillsides, and human-made exposures such as quarries and road cuttings.
How was petrified forest formed?
Much of the Petrified Forest formed from tall trees called conifers. They grew over 200 million years ago near waterways. During floods, water forced the trees to be pulled up from the ground. Over time, the wood from the trees became petrified.

How did the Chinle Formation form?
The Chinle formation is exposed in the Painted Desert of northern Arizona. The Chinle’s colorful mudstones, and less abundant lenses of sandstone and conglomerate, were deposited by a large river system. This unit typically is eroded into badlands topography and contains clays that are prone to shrinking and swelling.
