BOOK REVIEW
Petrified Wood: The World of Fossilized
Wood, Cones, Ferns, & Cycads
by Frank J. Daniels
|
11 October 2006 --Did you ever wonder what petrified
wood is, where it comes from and from what kind of tree?
This book takes a giant step forward, for the
enthusiast, in identification of many types of petrified
wood from around the world. Mr. Daniels discusses the
mineralogy of wood, why the colors and preservation are
different, and the geology of the deposits (why some
wood preserves and some doesn't). Most of the book deals
with petrified wood from all around the world. Each
example is cut, polished and labeled with country, age
and type of tree.
