Have you ever seen Cretaceous petrified wood?

I was shocked when I saw Cretaceous petrified wood in a friend's private museum. Those ancient forest trees were presented in a form I could not have imagined, leaving me speechless. I turned to Deepseek to learn about the Cretaceous period and petrified wood. Deepseek generated the following text, which I feel captures the charm of petrified wood. I added photos I took with my phone and shared them with friends who might be interested. Jade Bones of a Thousand Autumns: The Flowing Light of Wood When the power of the wilderness condenses in the river of time, the wrinkles of the cracked bark flow with the blood of agate, and the moonlight of siliceous crystals settles between the rings. The tremors of ancient branches and leaves are forever frozen as jade-like flowing cloud patterns. This is the earth's most extravagant sealing technique—using a volcano as a carving knife and magma as ink, dissolving the entire geological chronology into the secret realm where tree rings and chalcedony blend. Touch its warm body, and you can hear the Cretaceous monsoon passing through the petrified cell walls, see the mineral veins drawing the trajectory of stars in the wooden conduits. Every insect-eaten scar becomes a jade relief, every broken section turns into an amber code, telling a story older than human civilization, a reconciliation between time and eternity, in the silence of immortality.
