always living in the outer chamber. They lived in the Cretaceous
period some 63 to 130 million years ago.

This is an extra large, above average quality
specimen of Petrified Wood Slab from Madagascar. It has been highly
polished on one side and measures 13" x 10"x 1/2". The wood has
a nice blend of Earth tone colors and has a very different, irregular shape
and design.
Petrified Wood is a type of a fossil as it consists of fossil wood where
all the organic materials have been replaced with minerals while retaining
the original structure of the wood. These minerals are most often Silicates
such as Quartz. Other minerals, Manganese, Iron and Copper, in the water
or mud during the petrification process give Petrified Wood a variety of color
ranges: black - Carbon; green/blue - Copper; red/brown/yellow - Iron.
Petrified Wood can preserve the original structure of the wood in all its
detail all the way down to the microscopic level. Structures such as
tree rings and the various tissues are often observed features. Although
Petrified Wood can be found worldwide, it is rather rare in larger quantities
and at times can be difficult to obtain by the average collector.
