Fossilized trees near New Zealand seashore display magic of time

There’s an incredibly rare 170 million-year-old fossilized wood site in New Zealand.

One hundred and seventy million years ago, this area was lush forests. Now all that remains are fossils quietly lying at the seashore.

Only visitors come to mourn them.

The transformation displays the magic of time.

A kind reminder stands near this site: Do not steal this precious fossilized wood for personal collection.
