	Araucarioxylon Hoodii ''Araucarioxylon arizonicum'' is an extinct species of conifer that is the state fossil of Arizona. The species is known from massive tree trunks that weather out of the Chinle Formation in desert badlands of northern Arizona and adjacent New Mexico and Chemnitz petrified forest in Chemnitz, Germany, most notably in the Petrified Forest National Park. There, these trunks are locally so abundant that they have been used as building materials. Description The petrified wood of this tree is frequently referred to as "Rainbow wood" because of the large variety of colors some specimens exhibit. The red and yellow are produced by large particulate forms of iron oxide, the yellow being limonite and the red being hematite. The purple hue comes from extremely fine spherules of hematite distributed throughout the quartz matrix, and not from manganese, as has sometimes been suggested. The trunks were large and slender, tapering slightly towards their apex. The largest known trunk in Petri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

picture info	Shuvosaurus ''Shuvosaurus'' (meaning "Shuvo's lizard") is a genus of beaked reptile from the Late Triassic of western Texas. Despite looking superficially similar to a theropod dinosaur, it is actually more closely related to crocodilians. Discovery and classification ''Shuvosaurus'' was described by Sankar Chatterjee in 1993 after it was discovered by his son Shuvo in the early 1990s.Chatterjee, S. (1991) An unusual toothless archosaur from the Triassic of Texas: the world's oldest ostrich dinosaur? Abstract, Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 8(3): 11A. It was initially interpreted as a Triassic member of the Cretaceous dinosaur family Ornithomimidae because it had toothless jaws. Like the avian placement of ''Protoavis'', the ornithomimosaur placement of ''Shuvosaurus'' was greeted with scepticism by others, and in their 1995 monograph on Late Triassic tetrapods from the American Southwest, Robert Long and Philip Murry considered ''Shuvosaurus'' to be possibly the same species as the ...
