But, a fossilised tree takes like twenty million years to create…
So, the possibilities are that the fossilised tree at the heart of the Bryn Celli Dud long barrow on Anglesey is:
a) a found object that bridges the wood=living stone=death belief systems of Megalithic Monument Builders
b) a purposefully engineered object* that was intentionally grown in this way over a vast period of pre-historic time
c) a combination of the two where the petrification of the tree trunk takes place in highly-acidic high-silicate environments, again just for this purpose, which speaks of a High Technology of Tree Petrification for religious purposes.

* PURPOSEFULLY ENGINEERED OBJECT: there's another reference to inverted tree within a wooden henge or circle at a place known as Seahenge at Holme next the Sea in Norfolk. High acidity, high silicate environment – as this another attempt to create a petrified tree trunk pillar of stone?
