Hi,
I'm looking for some info on polystrate trees in Australia. Apparently in
an ICR "Back to Genesis" video it is claimed that in some locations in
Australia there are fossilized trees that go from one coal seam up through
sandstone and then penetrate another seem. Actually the claim (not
directly quoted from the video) is made that "One he pointed out had been
reported by a Geologist near the turn of the century as penetrating through
dozens of feet of sandstone and through still another much higher coal seam
above." I guess the others don't go through multiple seams but are
implied there might be others. I know all about Joggins etc.. but don't
know anything about these claims from Australia. Anyone know of any
literature on these coal beds. I notice that "Impact" No. 316 on the
Joggins polystrate trees mentions that there are many other places around
the world where trees do this but none are specifically mentioned. Any
help would be appreciated.
