 | | Petrified, or silicified, wood is a type of fossil that has been found all over the world in Argentina, Denmark, Mexico, China, Japan, New Zealand, Indonesia, and much of the southwestern United States. |
 | | Petrified materials of more than 80 plant species have been found, the most common being walnut, sycamore, oak, magnolia, chestnut, redwood, maple, persimmon, and dogwood, with petrified palmwood being the state fossil of Louisian |
 | | Even though petrified wood returned it still causes problems because it cannot be repositioned, and Park Rangers do not want to place it in the wrong spot because it could possibly affect scientific research carried out at the sites (Updike). |
