Arizona Petrified Forest Nation Park Logs Rising from Millions of Years of Volcanic Ash
The Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona desert is a home for many petrified trees that were formed millions of years ago.

The log was broken into a number of pieces, nesting in the Arizona sand dunes. In another million year, I wonder what it will become?
