Chemnitz petrified forest
The Chemnitz petrified forest is a petrified forest in Chemnitz, Germany.
Most of the trunks are exhibited in the Museum of Natural History in the Chemnitz department store Kulturkaufhaus Tietz (DAStietz), including slices of trunks with polished edges. A small collection can be seen also on Zeißstraße. In 1996 another petrified trunk was found in the Hilbersdorfer corridor. Since April 4, 2008 searches on a plot on the Frankenberger street found more trunks. There researchers discovered ''Arthropitys bistriata'', a previously undiscovered type of Calamites, giant horsetails that are ancestors of modern horsetails, with multiple branches. This exceptional find received the 2010 Fossil of the Year award of the German Paleontological Society. It was integrated into the permanent collection.
==History==
Petrified trunks of tree-like, primeval plants were repeatedly discovered in 1737 at Hilbersdorf, today a district of Chemnitz, during excavation work. In the mid-18th century, gemstone prospector David Frenzel (1691-1772) found numerous examples of this wood in the mountains near Chemnitz. One of his 1751 finds is one of the few petrified wood specimens still possessing its roots. Later a collector, the Hilbersdorf contractor Güldner, bequeathed some of the petrified logs to King Albert Museum in Chemnitz. The first director of the Museum, Johann Traugott Sterzel, took over the investigation of the findings. Also the Sterzeleanum in the museum (the petrified forest display) is dedicated to him.
