==Wood Fossils==

The park contains petrified wood fossils approximately 20 million years old, scattered throughout the park, which covers about . The park consists of nine enclaves, but only a small portion of the 247 acres (approx 1 square km) is open to the public. Officials of the GSI believe the fossils were formed during massive flooding that occurred millions of years ago.
The park hosts about 200 fossilized trees. They range in size from meters in length, some of which are up to 5 meters in width.〔 They are strewn and partially buried in the park grounds.〔 No branches or leaves remain on the fossilized trunks.〔
Scientists speculate that the trees did not originally grow at the site, but were transported before they had petrified.〔 M. Sonneret, a European naturalist, gave the first detailed account of the fossils in 1781.〔
