Last week I go to go to the museum for an hour because we had a shortened week of school. While there I got to go with David to pick out a slab of petrified wood for a display and learned where all the petrified wood is kept. As you can see below that there's a lot of it, and some of it is very heavy! I wonder how much prep work has to be done on petrified wood when it's found? I don't know if it gets some sort of caliche on it or if it's typically cleaner than fossils are. I will ask David about this next time I seem him and let you all know. After looking at the petrified wood I was able to do a little bit more cleaning on the Jane bone from last week for about fifteen minutes before I left.
