Petrified Wood

Here is another sample of a fossil KYANA was selling to raise money for the education fund during the Fossil Festival at the Falls of the Ohio State Park.

The festival allowed us to raise money and also provide very low cost teaching aides to teachers and helped children and adults learn more about fossils from the world around us.

This fossil is of petrified wood from somewhere in Utah.

It is a Striatopora bellistriata (Greene) classified as a tabulate coral from the Middle Devonian period. It was found at Cooper Lane Quarry in Clark County, Indiana.
