The area of Arizona just south of Interstate 40 between Woodruff and Pinta is full of dinosaurs and fossilized trees; this is the home of the PETRIFIED FOREST NATIONAL PARK.
It’s hard to imagine that before the Porta Hedge was a plastic hedge, it was once (long, long ago) the living organisms thriving in seas like the one that enveloped the now petrified quartz trees lying out on the surface of the land in the park.
Yet, with its broad representation of the Late Triassic paleo-ecosystem, the Petrified Forest may contain relatives closer to the Porta Hedge than one initially thinks.
