Palmoxylon Cretaceous Louisiana 100 million years ago, a lush tropical forest thrived in what is now known as Louisiana. A few of the forest's palms were fortuitously fossilized after falling into a mineral-rich mud which provided protection from decaying and allowed them to mineralize into a very stable petrified wood. In 1976, petrified palm wood became the State Fossil of Louisiana. The present attractive specimen is polished to augment the characteristic interesting texture of palm wood. Measuring 14 x 11in
