Petrified wood is the state fossil. Most of the petrified wood in Arizona can be found in the Petrified Forest in the northern part of the state. A long time ago the wood used to be trees. Over a long period of time the wood became petrified, meaning it is as hard as a rock!

What is a symbol?

Many states have symbols.

A symbol can be a thing or object that stands for something.

Symbols can paint a picture in your mind about a state.

If you use your imagination, you can see Arizona's symbols in the desert or in the mountains.

Each symbol was picked to show that Arizona is different from other states.
