Hi from down under There is article in National Geographic - September, about discovery two million old sequoias and bald cypresses. The wood is NOT petrified, they are still wood; they still could be burned. (says Sergio Vergoni from Umbria's archeological superintendency). I am wonder if someone know e-mail or address to contact him. I would like to know if any traces of larvae of beetles or other insects was found inside the wood.
