  • A cross-section of petrified wood displays a wide spectrum of colors in the Rainbow Forest of Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona.

It formed more than 200 million years ago when logs washed into an ancient river system. The logs were quickly buried by sediment, which slowed decay. Over time, minerals, including silica, were absorbed into the porous wood, replacing the original organic material over hundreds of thousands of years.
