Petrified Forest National Park (PFNP)

Petrified Forest National Park (PFNP)

The petrifacation process occurs underground. Wood is buried under sediment and preserved by lack of O2. Mineral rich water flows through the sediment and deposits minerals in the plants cells. After enough time, it becomes PW.
