A journalist.

What is so incredible about that?

After Mount Saint Helens erupted in Washington State, there was little "lava" as is seen in Hawaiian volcanic eruptions.

However, tens of thousands of acres and the trees and the wooden buildings on them were completely or partially buried by volcanic ash and silt.

So it was with the trees in that petrified forest. The buried portions of the trees were protected by the solidified ash and silt and were preserved by petrification. The portions of the trees that were not buried rotted away 15 million years ago.
