| 説明 | Lesbos, Greece.Today we went on the Wild West Tour of the island. The tour headed west from Skala Kalloni towards Skala Eressos.The Lesvos Petrified Forest is a petrified wood forest on the island of Lesbos, Greece.The forest was formed from the fossilized remains of plants and trees, which can be found in many localities on the western part of Lesbos Island. Finds now include a 19.5 metre tree complete with some roots and branches and leaves, as well as some 150 fossilised logs.The area enclosed by the villages of Eressos, Antissa and Sigri is very dense in fossilized tree trunks, and forms the area designated as the Petrified Forest of Lesbos, which is managed by the Natural History Museum of the Lesvos Petrified Forest, and has been designated as a protected natural monument. Isolated plant fossils can be found in many other parts of the island, including the villages of Molyvos, Polichnitos, Plomari and Akrasi. The forest is a major geosite of Lesvos Geopark.The petrified forest was formed by successive volcanic eruptions which took place between 17 and 20 million years ago, covering a large part of the island in lava and ash. The earliest forests show the vegetation, at the time of formation was subtropical, which differs from the present day Mediterranean vegetation. The Sigri pyroclastic formation is connected to the fossilization of the forest. |
