The ETGMS Mineralogical group met Tuesday, July 11, 2017 at the home of Kelly Ford. There were 13 members and 1 guest present at the meeting. The meeting began with fellowship and a main course of Chicken Alfredo Pasta and Cheesecake for dessert. Yummy! 
Long time ETGMS ember, Pete Kaiser gave a presentation on Petrified Wood which included information on how tree petrification occurs and what minerals produce the colors found in petrified wood. He also shared some spectacular slides of his adventures to the National Petrified Forest. Very informative! 
Members brought their petrified wood specimens, which were admired by all! Some of the specimens were from our last field trip to Kinney Polve's area. The meeting concluded with display and discussion by Amy Long of her beautiful and unique petrified wood collection.
