Claim

The fossil trees at Specimen Creek in the Yellowstone Petrified Forest show common tree ring signatures, indicating that they all lived at the same time. This rules out the conventional interpretation that the trees in successive layers all grew in place and were covered by successive volcanic eruptions.
