EXTINCTIONS CHOICE - California Petrified Wood
Stock Number  FPPW17
EXTINCTIONS Choice

Name:   Petrified Wood (Elm)
Age:  Eocene
Formation:  Ione Formation
Location:  Granite Bay, California
Size:  Wood is 13 inches across!

This is one of the most impressive slices of Petrified Wood that we have ever seen. It is a huge slice of Petrified Elm Wood from the Eocene Deposits of Glacier Bay, California. This wood is quite striking, with its very unusual yellow coloration - it is even more yellow in person. The slab is also very thick - almost an inch thick. The black coloration in the center is natural, not a hole in the slab. The surface of the wood has been polished to a mirror finish. And the bark is even preserved on the edges of the slice! This is simply a top quality example of this highly unusual fossilized Elm wood from California.
