Road Trip Revisited - Dead Tree In Travertine, Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone, NP

            A tree in stone.

Mammoth Hot Springs consists of nearly 100 hot springs scattered over a score of step-like travertine terraces. The travertine deposits range in age from late Pleistocene to the present. Sporadic records of hot-spring activity suggest that most of the current major springs have been intermittently active since at least 1871. Water moving along a fault zone is heated by partly molten magma and enriched in calcium and bicarbonate. Upon reaching Mammoth this thermal water (temperature about 73°C) moves up through the old terrace deposits along pre-existing vertical linear planes of weakness. As the water reaches the surface, pressure is released, carbon dioxide escapes as a gas, and bicarbonate in the water is partitioned into carbon dioxide and carbonate; the carbonate then combines with calcium to precipitate calcium carbonate, forming travertine.
