Missing the Forest for the Trees: The Beauty of Petrified Wood Now - January 18, 2009 @ Museum of the Earth in Ithaca, NY http://www.museumoftheearth.org We have all walked through forests in the fall when the leaves have begun their change from green into reds, oranges, and yellows. It is an experience of color that many cherish and look forward to each year. This fall, we invite you to celebrate the changing of the seasons with a journey to a different kind of forest, one where the trees are no longer living, but where they are just as colorful!We hope you will join us on a journey millions for years into the forests of the past with an exhibit featuring the beauty of petrified wood. Marvel at the range of color captured in these magnificent crystalline specimens as you explore the science and the art of paleontology.This exhibit is made possible by Elmira Savings Bank.
