Petrified Forest National Park Postcard Set

The twelve prints included in this postcard set to capture an astounding landscape rich in colorful geological features, enduring archaeological sites, fascinating paleontological resources, and abundant wildlife.

The Petrified Forest National Park was established in 1906 to protect one of the world’s largest and most colorful deposits of petrified wood.

The fossil record contained in this 225 million-year-old geologic layer called the ‘Chinle Formation’ allows a fascinating look at the fauna and flora of the Late Triassic Period. 

This colorful sediment, also known as the Painted Desert, spans the 26-mile journey through the park.
