A Petrified Redwood 



This is one of the largest and most perfectly preserved 

 specimens hitherto exhumed at the petrified forest, near Santa 

 Rosa. It is a good sized specimen of the redwood (Sequoia semper- 

 virens). Its entire substance is solid stone, but the ap- 

 pearance of the original texture of wood and 

 bark is wonderfully preserved.
