Petrified Wood Bookends - Fossil Quality:Staff Pick Era: Pennsylvanian LowerMined from: Indonesia Era: Cenozoic Geological Age: 66mya Description: In the late Tertiary period, blankets of rainforest surrounding volcanos were plentiful. After volcanic eruption, these trees were buried with ash and lava eliminating any microbes that would rot the wood. The wood was then replaced with silica rich minerals such as quartz, jasper, calcite, and chalcedony. The colours found in the wood come from an assortment of trace minerals.
