The area was once a forest.

The area was uplifted.

The area was buried in sediment.

The area was probably covered by water.

Petrification of a dead plant or animal organisms occurs when rock mineral displaces the organic elements in the structure of the biotic matter or these minerals seep in between the spaces and pores within the dead plant or organism and become part of the material.

Explanation:

Petrification occurs under high pressure. This is why this process occurs in the crust after layers of sediments create enough pressure on the dead organic matter buried in with the sediments. This phenomenon commonly begins on the ocean floor where dead marine life sinks to the bottom and is buried by sediments over many years.  

Occasionally, tectonic plate forces uplift these petrified fossils from deep in the crust exposing them on the surface like in this case.

Lena [83]

The only legitimate basis for the formation of a state is the nation.

Explanation:

The formation of a state can be an easy or a very complicated process. Also, it can be done in a peaceful manner, or through usage of violence and military action. The states have been formed in many different ways over the course of the history. The principle of self-determination though states that the only legitimate basis for the formation of a state is the nation.

  • This principle seems good and legit, but in practice has turned out to be very problematic.
  • Numerous states have been formed without really having a nation, but more a mixture of different people and cultures stuffed together without even asking them for it.
  • There a re lot of nations around the world that do not have states, or rather are not allowed to have states, such as the Basques, Catalans, Kurdish etc.
  • Some states have been formed because of the interest of other states, like the example of Kosovo in the Balkans.
