Triassic of the Petrified Forest

Bill Parker gave a Great Talk to the club last night. They have been doing detailed work on the stratigraphy of the park -- for the first time in 100 years. They have put together a really good picture of how it was in the late triassic.

His paper on the park is open access so you can look at all the details --
