Question I have about petrified wood, is in understanding the petrification process. I would think that the outside of the wood would petrify first and hence preventing the interior from pretrifying
@@teralynl4285 I assume it's from "melting the wood away" like an Ice Cube from top to bottom. So you get every part of the wood unless there's a rock jammed somewhere to make imperfections.
The museum needs to do more videos. I live near the museum and want to know more about what I see. Keep it short, under 15 minutes for kids coming into the museum to get more out of their visits. Also, provide pdf’s or other materials for kids to sdk scavenger hunts or answer questions about your exhibits. I have been coming since I was a child and now bring my kids. I want to be more intentional about my family visits without having to do group tours. Thank you for what you have already done. This video and others are great. I just want more,
If petrified wood is just mineral replacement then can you please explain how the wood grain and even bug holes remain in the petrified wood if it’s mineral replacement? I don’t get how it retains the wood grain.
I'm not sure I buy her explanation about the silica rich water filling the void left by the rotted wood , nucleophillic substitution is more likely in my opinion and would explain the fact that even the bug holes are still visible , but it would also validate a lot of evidence to other biological petrification which they definitely don't want out in the open .
...i had a piece like the 1st one she showed...wish I stil had it..my mom prob ditched it...I found it when I was prob 8..10 years old...I displayed it in my room...over 55 years or so ago...found it in a small stream in venango co. pa...it was soo neat...
I've found a few here in Australia 🇦🇺 up in the country in nsw, one was unique so I took it home it reminds me of a mouth guard, and the other one is pre polished and smooth, in the mouth guard one you can kinda see the sap.
Does the Silica and Wood form togheter, or is it the sediments forming a mold exactly like the wood? And how does the texture transfer, is it from seasons of silicon replacing the wood over time? I guess my questions is: How does the wood decay?
awsome video i got interested in this sense i noticed weird rock formations that seem to be petrified wood, probably with some kind of weapon, i dont know... we are a biologic experiment that can be reset at any time.
The world is blind, it looks, but it cannot see what is right under its nose. Speaking of petrified trees; let’s talk about Mount Roraima for example: The stone plateau of Mount Roraima in Venezuela (about two kilometers in diameter) and all the stone plateaus (perhaps millions of them) that exist around the world with similar shapes, are nothing more than trunks of giant trees that had life millions of years ago and were cut down in turn by giant people; truly gigantic, up to 2kms. of height. In fact, the trunk of Mount Roraima was cut at 400 MS Tall. The magnetic field that allowed that giant tree to suck all the thousands of gallons of water it needed for its daily life is still acting in the place where its trunk was left (now petrified), which is why it descend from the plateau of Mount Roraima for all year round several springs of fresh and good water, which would not happen if it were only stored rainwater, since the stored water is quickly depleted. Quartz is petrified wood, and on the plain of the Roraima plateau there is a lot, a lot of quartz. The graves of those super giant characters are all over the planet. Most of the great mountains and hills that we see covered with earth are actually the graves of giants; They are petrified under the earth of those very great mountains. With the passage of time, in many places parts of these bodies have been exposed: in drone videos, remains of the shapes of a face are sometimes discovered; of one leg with its foot; a hand; a gigantic femur; cranial concavities that weigh hundreds of tons and have served as houses for ancient men, etc. Sometimes these remains of giants are so large that only the height of a drone can define the shapes. That the tectonic masses were compressed against each other to form the ranges of our great rocky mountains, pure story. The great trees were cut down, torn into pieces and scattered throughout the planet to create all those beauties of wood, which then petrified within a favorable climate and today are our great rocky mountains. I am amazed that our "great scientists" have never realized that all the marble that exists on our planet comes from giant petrified trees; with colors and betas according to the varieties of wood that gave them origin. It is enough to make the comparison between our polished wood and polished marble, to know that both things come from the same origin; Furthermore, small pieces of petrified trees when polished are pure marble. Every tree is a great factory of chemical compounds. I leave it here, because this topic is infinite, at least for those of us who are not so scientific...
I need HELP. Been searching for along time to find help identifying and possibly selling my piece. I have a big/heavy piece of fossilized wood. Its a white and orange color I believe. I found it in iowa but it may have came from texas..
@real ass cracker And does it also prove that the Earth is only 5000 years old?? Keep your religious bullshit with yourself. The dude asked for it's usefulness. If you don't have anything of actual value, then you can STFU.
It's also very pretty, can be used in jewelry or other display-type purposes, it's generally very hard too. There are examples all over ebay of pieces that can fit in your hand going for well over $300.
How do you know if it's Quartz or Opal?? I just got a few pieces from a friend on Reddit, we are trading lol. Pretty cool dude I'd say. ☺️❤️🌎🛐✝️ I'm studying it lol I'm in love with it, It's beautiful. It's like I don't even want to "Tumble it". Oh I see lol, you can definitely tell if it's Opal or not. ☺️💕😍
You guys must read the book of patriachs and prophets some of these things will make sense as it goes back to the ancient days of the antediluvians. You’ll understand how these trees came about why they’re extinct.
