Escalante Petrified Forest State Park is in Boulder Mountains in Utah, located north of Escalante. The park features a high mesa that was once an ancient floodplain. Approximately 135 to 155 million years ago, large trees were buried in mud during floods. Groundwater eventually replaced the organic material with silica, preserving the wood as fossils. Erosion has exposed these petrified logs. The logs are believed to be from conifers transported by a river before being buried and fossilized as agate.
This piece was from an old collection and was self collected in the 40's or 50's, prior to the establishment of the park in 1976.
