E 'with interest that we must look to the forest of
Zuri.
It would be a tropical forest Miocene era.
It happened then that a storm of lapilli and ash from volcanoes near the rainforest that investing in contact with this unusual flurry of materials, petrified and remained hidden as long as the human eye, some scholars do not recognize the importance a naturalistic point of view.
Next to the petrified forest grew the village of Zuri.
But in
1924, when the reservoir was filled, not just the village was submerged, but the forest also bade farewell to the sunshine.
But if the town was rebuilt in a higher area, the forest today we can see only few remains mostly submerged.
It 'also important to remember that much of the valuable heritage has been plundered with impunity, so that soon, you risk only to remember dell'eclatante natural creation.
What did not make the time, made man.
There is 
opportunity to observe parts of the trunks of petrified forest in the courtyard of the rural church of St. Mary Magdalene in the village to satisfy, and others in the church of the Holy Spirit where grows a magnificent old hackberry tree.
Some specimens are on display at the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Cagliari.
