Cenozoic fossil wood is abundantly preserved in Pleistocene gravelly sediments deposited along the Mun River, a major Mekong River tributary. Vertebrate fossils in these alluvial deposits range in age from Miocene to Pleistocene, suggesting that ages of silicified wood specimens are variable. Beginning in 1956, gravel and sand began to be extensively mined for use in road and airport construction, the main sites being Khao Din (Ban NongRanka) and Khao Kaew (Ban KrokDuean Ha). These mining operations produced thousands of specimens of petrified wood, some quite large.
