Dear friends and colleagues,
The Petrified Forest of Lesvos is a nominee for The New 7 Wonders of Nature and needs our votes to make it to the finalists. Please support its nomination by voting on-line. All that is needed is a few seconds of your time and an e-mail account.
The Petrified Forest of Lesvos is located on Lesvos Island in Greece. It is a petrified forest ecosystem made up of hundreds of lying and standing fossilized tree trunks which were covered by volcanic material and petrified in place 20 million years ago. Layers of volcanic ash have revealed pieces of trunks, branches, roots, seeds and leaves as well as fossilized animal bones. Important concentrations of fossilized remains can also be found in the marine and seashore zones of western Lesvos. The region of the Petrified Forest is further characterized by impressive volcanic geotopes, witnesses of the intense volcanic activity in the past.
