Wayne County
The Hanksville and Caineville stretch of Wayne County is a strong public-land agate and petrified-wood area because weathering has released chalcedony, chert, jasper, and silicified wood from Mesozoic sedimentary rocks. UGS describes BLM public land where specimens can be found close to the road, while Utah collecting rules make clear that petrified wood has personal-use limits and protected park or private lands must be avoided.
