Petrified logs, Arizona
Petrified logs. Petrifaction is a term used to describe the fossilisation of wood. It occurs when pieces of wood, such as these logs, fall into sediments and are rapidly covered. Over a long period of time, the wood decays. As it decays, the wood is replaced by minerals which are deposited from solution in ground water. This forms a perfect replica of the original, even down to its growth rings. Photographed in Arizona, USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of petrified logs in Arizona. Petrification, a fascinating process that occurs over an extensive period, is responsible for transforming these pieces of wood into stunning fossils. As fallen logs become submerged in sediment and quickly covered, they begin their journey towards becoming timeless relics. Over time, the decaying wood is gradually replaced by minerals deposited from groundwater solutions. This intricate process results in a flawless replica of the original log, preserving even its growth rings with remarkable precision. Each ring tells a story of the tree's life and provides valuable insights into ancient ecosystems. Photographed against the backdrop of Arizona's breathtaking landscapes, this image captures both the scientific significance and aesthetic allure of petrified logs. It serves as a testament to nature's ability to transform ordinary objects into extraordinary works of art through millions of years. The Science Photo Library presents this print as a celebration of paleontology and its profound impact on our understanding of Earth's history. It invites viewers to marvel at these petrified wonders while contemplating the mysteries they hold within their fossilized grains – reminding us that even in decay lies everlasting beauty.
