The world's longest petrified tree

Unseen Thailand "Petrified Tree" 🪵Tak Province At the Petrified Tree National Park, Ban Tak District, there is the longest petrified tree in the world, 72.22 meters long, over 800,000 years old, buried underground in the dry dipterocarp forest. There are many other petrified trees in this area. This is considered to be the largest petrified tree since it was discovered in Asia. Petrified wood is a type of fossil that occurs naturally. It is formed from tree remains that are replaced by groundwater, which contains silica solutions, and slowly sediment and turn into stone, i.e., replace the molecules until they become completely stone, without any further changes in shape or structure. Petrified wood is often embedded in gravel layers. It is estimated that it accumulated in the Quaternary Conton, approximately 2 million years ago. From the distribution of sedimentary deposits that appear, it is likely that they accumulated in the ancient Ping River bends before they were adjusted and changed their paths, becoming the current Ping River.
