Oops, almost forgot: pics of the petrified forest.
Too interesting to keep for ourselves.
By now I've read several times how wood gets petrified, it has to do with the tree being buried for millions of years and water seeping in, replacing the carbon in the cells with silicate - but really, I still don't understand the whole proces.
Try Wikipedia if you want to know all about it. Do check out 'petrified wood polished' (Google images). You'll be amazed.
