I did say I would not Hijack your thread by talking about Polystrate trees, but will have pictures from the net of them on my Laptop to show you breifly when I get there.Quote:

"Poly" is a word meaning "many"--polymer--many carbon atoms in the chain of atoms making the substance, etc.
"Strate" as in "Polystrate" after "Strata" or rock layers.
I do know where some Far North Coast Jurassic Polystrate tree fossils are, and when weather is warmer heading there for a swim and will photograph them at that time.
I also know where some are at Gympie, and will head up there soon to photograph them.
Some years ago, one evolutionist Geology Professor from Newcastle University published that there was no such thing as Polystrate Petrified trees, as these are a real big thorn in the side of evolution--that is Polystrate Petrified Trees do prove these many Rock layers did not take millions of years to form, but the many Rock Layers were all laid down in just one large flood event. That is why I would have liked to Photograph the ones in the rocks called "Newcastle Coal Measures."
But will get to photograph more local ones later this year.

However I had better leave this subject now. I just want to photograph these for my self and know two sites where these are to be found.
