The Petrified Tree (North West of Tower Falls). June 29^th 2008.

"... Volcanic eruptions in this region during the Eocene epoch (50 million years ago) triggered massive landslides into mountain and valley streams. The mixture of ash, water and sand buried entire forests. Before the wood decayed, silca from the volcanic mud flow replaced the cell contents (lumens), literally creating forests of stone."
