Petrified Forest
Arizona
Located in the Arizona desert, Petrified Forest National Park used to be a marsh. When the trees died and fell they began to decay and mineral sediment filled in where the organic material had been. Different minerals create the many colors of the logs. Over time the trees were covered in silt and sand and eventually that turned to sandstone. Now the sandstone has started to erode away, revealing the petrified logs seen here.
