This morning I attended Cliff's annual
Santa Lucia Rockhounds' rockhound tailgate sales event in Wellsona, just north of
Paso Robles, CA.
I am at a point in my life that I'm getting rid of rocks, not acquiring more of them. However, today I found some really cool stuff in club member
Jim Mills' booth at left.
These two specimens of Lower
Permian (265 m.y.o) petrified wood are from near a petrified forest in
Araguaina, Brazil. This particular wood was scorched when it was still organic prior to its petrificiation.
Miocene-era (14 m.y.o.) petrified wood from
Badger Flat, Virgin Valley,
Humboldt County, NV, showing signs of
brown rot fungus destruction from its pre-petrification days. All photos by Kim Patrick Noyes (all rights reserved).
