Happy #FossilFriday from the Petrified Forest!
The “PEFO” is a field full of Triassic age petrified trees in Arizona. It formed when a river flooded and fallen trees were filled with elements like iron, carbon, and manganese.

This visit to the Trendall Geoheritage Reserve (R50149) and Buick Reserve (R44710) was conducted under Permit SGR041. Entry into these reserves requires a permit issued by the Geological Survey of Western Australia.
#FossilFriday from these Tumbiana Formation stromatolites (~2.7 billion years old)!
Stromatolites have a distinct layered structure formed by microbial mats and sediment🦠
