desert.</span> <span data-start-time='14667' data-end-time='22833'>And the word “petrified” -- which can mean “afraid”-- may scare visitors away!</span> <span data-start-time='22833' data-end-time='24750'>But fear not.</span> <span data-start-time='24750' data-end-time='35521'>“Petrified Forest” gets its name from the trees that have, over millions of years, turned to stone.</span> <span data-start-time='35521' data-end-time='41313'>That natural process is called fossilization.</span> <span data-start-time='41313' data-end-time='49521'>Much of the Petrified Forest formed from tall trees called conifers.</span> <span data-start-time='49521' data-end-time='56458'>They grew over 200 million years ago near waterways.</span> <span data-start-time='56458' data-end-time='63104'>During floods, water forced the trees to be pulled up from the ground.</span> <span data-start-time='63104' data-end-time='69375'>Over time, the wood from the trees became petrified.</span> <span data-start-time='69375' data-end-time='76958'>The Petrified Forest National Park is one of the wonders of Arizona.</span> <span data-start-time='76958' data-end-time='81167'>It

data-end-time='106063'>Brilliantly colored mudstones and clays cover the land as far as the eye can see.</span> <span data-start-time='106063' data-end-time='115625'>They contain bentonite, a clay that is the product of changed volcanic ash.</span> <span data-start-time='115625' data-end-time='126125'>The oldest geological formations in the park are about 227 million years old.</span> <span
