Discover Kerasia Petrified Forest in northern Evia near the Greek Capital

A new petrified forest is brought to light in the area of Kerasia in northern Evia, the important excavation carried out by the Museum of Natural History of the Lesvos Petrified Forest. It should be noted that the Museum of Natural History of the Lesvos Petrified Forest, given its important expertise in the preservation of natural heritage, undertook the excavation research at the Culture Ministry Lina Mendoni's decision.

Excavation research in northern Evia began in October 2022 and continues to this day. It has brought to light a large number of fossilized trunks and leafy horizons. In particular, the excavations are being carried out in the fossil-bearing area of 1.7 hectares, which belongs to the Region of Central Greece and has been fenced off.

During their time, numerous fragments of fossilized trunks and foliar horizons were found lying within lake sediments. The excavation research is being carried out at the sites where there were clues and has so far brought to light more than 160 fossilized trunks and parts of trees.
