Landscape Agate Bridge, Petrified Tree

Agate Bridge, Petrified Tree · 07:53 PM

This 200 million year old petrified tree originally lay flat on the ground until the arroyo which now runs beneath it was formed by erosion. The log bridge was shored up with the concrete support in 1917, preserving the bridge from fracturing which you can see was occurring. Petrified wood weighs about 200 pounds per cubic foot and I found it amazing this tree hadn't broken over millions of years. The total length of the tree is about 110 foot.

Thanks Dave for commenting, thinking about it for millions of years, it is amazing the tree would stay complete like that. I think it is one of the longest complete trees in the park. Take care, Bob

Fascinating.

I have picked up several small pieces of petrified wood over the years but have never seen anything on this scale before.

Thanks

Charlie, it is a little different than Ma., not much green in this neighborhood, but there is a tree, although it died.
