6.1" Jurassic Petrified Wood Section - Henry Mountain, Utah

This is a beautiful, free-standing section of petrified wood from the Morrison Formation of Utah. The piece is 6.1 wide, 4" tall and 2.7" deep. It's been polished on both the front and the back as well as the base. Absolutely gorgeous, deep red and purple coloration which is very similar to the coloration of the Arizona petrified wood. It just has more purples in it than the typical Arizona wood.

It was collected at Henry Mountain and is part of an old collection I recently purchased with some unique pieces from unusual localities. This beautiful slab of petrified wood is Upper Jurassic in age or approximately 150 million years old. The formation which it comes from the same formation known for producing fossils of well known dinosaurs such as Allosaurus and Diplodocus. So this tree was living at the same time as the dinosaurs!

It comes with an acrylic display stand.
