Zuhl Collection of Petrified Tree Cross Sections March 10, 2007

The Mayborn is pleased to present the Zuhl Collection of Petrified Tree Cross Sections, an exhibit on loan courtesy of the Houston Museum of Natural Science. The exhibit includes 26 fossilized tree cross sections, varying in size from 8 inches in diameter to over 40, some of which date back millions of years. These samples display an amazing variety of colors produced during the process of fossilization, from vibrant reds and yellows, to pale blues and white hues. See and touch these beautiful specimens that come from a wide range of trees including oak, palm, and sequoias, and were found in a variety of states including Texas, Oregon, Arizona and Utah. You may see this incredible collection beginning March 10th and extending through August 27th, 2007 in the exhibit hallway next to the SBC Theater.
