Sequoia Stem
 |
| This
permineralized Sequoia trunk from Sunnyside Washington
is typical of conifer wood. A small pith is surrounded by
rings
of secondary woody growth composed mostly of xylem tissue
(tracheids). Like most petrified wood the bark tissue has
not been preserved. Two important Eocene-aged petrified wood deposits preserve Sequoia trees in growth position. Visit the Eocene section of our website to learn more or click on the image titles below to access printable version of our articles on these fascinating fossil sites. |
