I have a 380 million year old forest sticking out of the rocks about an hour south of me in NY...

That’s possible, but don’t forget that Oregon lies along the “Ring of Fire”; I think tectonism is probably the more likely candidate here, given the proposed dates of the ghost-forest.

Dunarobba fossil forest
Avigliano Umbro
The peculiarity of these impressive archaeological finds is that the fossil trunks have kept their erect position and their woody structure. They date back to 3 million years ago and they reach 5 feet in diameter.

(3 million YO and NOT fossilized?)

The Petrified Forest of Argentina is located in the patagonian steppe, without practically any visible vegetation. It has an extension of 14000 hectares (34000 acres).

Meanwhile, in the Alps:

Radical new theory

The tree trunk in the ice is part of a huge climatic puzzle that Joerin is analyzing for his doctoral thesis for the Institute for Geological Science at the University of Bern. And he is coming to an astonishing conclusion. The fact that the Alpine glaciers are melting right now appears to be part of regular cycle in which snow and ice have been coming and going for thousands of years...

“...(3 million YO and NOT fossilized?)....”

In Hill County, Montana, in 1989, I pulled a mussel shell out of the wall of a coulee. The sediments in which I found the shell were of late Cretaceous age, somewhere around 65-70 million years. The shell wasn’t fossilized at all...it looked like I had just plucked it right out of a creek. The mother-of-pearl was clear and beautiful.

An example of a fossilized shell.

Personally, I think if I found this, I would not know if the shell was a fossil or not...

Another great beer! I’ve been getting into the IPA’s that are available on this coast, and I had my first four-pack of Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA, wow! 9% alcohol, and more hops per bottle than a truckload of Coors!

Thanks! I’ve never gone seeking petrified wood, but once touched some petrified stumps in the courtyard of a hotel I stayed at in Tucumcari NM.

Petrified wood can be found in MISSISSIPPI, too, of all places! When I was a kid, I coud dig pieces of it from the clay pits on my grandfather’s farm..........

I agree — the Lake Missoula event was much earlier. Looking just at terrestrial causes, an offshore quake and/or subsidence event looks like the culprit here.

He says these stumps are almost 4,000 years old.

Finally, half-way through the article, some meat. Thought he'd never get around to telling us.

What killed them, anyhoo? The author never did get around to that.

Earth In Upheaval, page 189. ...it is estimated that it would take a twelve-foot layer of peat deposit to make a layer of coal one foot thick; and twelve feet of peat deposit would require plant remains a hundred and twenty feet high. How tall and thick must a forest be, then, in order to create a seam of coal not one foot thick but fifty? The plant remains must be six thousand feet thick...
