Bali-Alona Petrified Forest Park

The Lesvos Petrified Forest is a petrified wood forest on the island of Lesbos, Greece.

The forest was formed from the fossilized remains of plants and trees, which can be found in many localities on the western part of Lesbos Island. Finds now include a 19.5 metre tree complete with some roots and branches and leaves, as well as, 150 fossilised logs. The area enclosed by the villages of Eressos, Antissa and Sigri is very dense in fossilized tree trunks, and forms the area designated as the Petrified Forest of Lesbos, which is managed by the Natural History Museum of the Lesvos Petrified Forest, and has been designated as a protected natural monument. Isolated plant fossils can be found in many other parts of the island, including the villages of Molyvos, Polichnitos, Plomari and Akrasi. The forest is a major geosite of Lesvos Geopark.
