Courtesy Gilford resident shares rare petrified wood with students Richard Sonia, a resident of Gilford, has donated a highly valuable piece of petrified wood to the Gilford High School science department. The piece is exceptional in size for a piece of pet- rified wood, and is estimated to be roughly 220 million years old (placing it somewhere in time between the Jurassic and Triassic periods, i.e. the Age of the Dinosaurs). GHS students have been fascinated by the petrified wood, which has sparked interest in both the geology and the chemistry involved with such a piece. At present, GHS students are working with radiometric dating which helps them to better understand the history of the Earth through determining the age of rocks. Leadership class begins program year
