How To Reach Petrified Wood

Jharia, Jharkhand, India
The Petrified Wood at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad is a spectacular geological wonder and one of the oldest fossils in the Indian subcontinent. Petrified wood is essentially a fossil that forms when terrestrial vegetation is buried under sediment and undergoes permineralization, turning organic matter into st one. This specific specimen is estimated to be 25 crore (250 million) years old, belonging to the late Paleozoic or early Mesozoic era. Located within the prestigious campus, it stands as a testament to the earth's ancient history and the prehistoric forests that once covered this region. It is not just a stone but a piece of biological history that has survived tectonic shifts and environmental changes over millions of years, making it a "must-see" for science enthusiasts.
