An ancient petrified tree, found in a petrified forest in Thailand’s Doi Soi Malai National Park in the western province of Tak, has been recorded by Guinness World Records as the longest petrified log in the world, officially measuring 69.7 metres, according to the Department of Mineral Resources.

 

The event to announce the recording by Guinness World Records broadcast live is scheduled at 1.30pm today.

 

The fossilised log, from a Koompassia malaccensis Maingay ex Benth. tree, which no longer grows in northern Thailand, was first discovered in November 2003 by a team of forestry officials.

Wonder how many entries Thailand had in the GWR that they did not actually have to do anything to get (as in found or naturally was there or grew by nature) as opposed to work towards either physically or technology or sportswise.
