jamesp and friends, Just out of pure cussedness I'm going to show you what Charlie Steen found. - - This is a Uranium Roll. These often contained huge trees hundreds of feet long, with all their shredded limbs and leaves, mixed in with vanadium, uranium, niobium, tantalum . . .
It's all very simple. Granite is 0.0000001% Uranium and 0.0000002% vanadium, so naturally as the granite erodes all that vanadium and uranium drags down into the ground all the trees and leaves and limbs with them.

So, the decay of the organic material adds to the total amount of uranium and vanadium?

So, the decay of the organic material adds to the total amount of uranium and vanadium? Have you ever collected pet wood or been to the Petrified Forest? forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/post/944023/threadTrees die, leaves fall and are blown away. limbs fall off and are washed away. The rotting trunk finally falls and disintegrates. Nothing left. That's life. Back in Chinle time, trees in a 400 mile wide path from Nevada to Texas were ripped out of the ground, limbs ripped off and then the trunks with a few scattered limbs were buried. Groundwater replaced them with silica or they would have also long ago perished. The above tale about the uranium is the best they have been able to come up with because what really did happen still happens to be unthinkable. Most of OUR uranium etc. just happened to arrive at the exact end of Jurassic time. (but that is unthinkable!)
