The ''' | {{first pic|Skaro forest day.jpg|The petrified forest on Skaro. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Daleks (TV story)|namedep=The Dead Planet (1)}})}} | ||
The '''petrified jungle''', also called the '''petrified forest''', was the remains of a [[forest]] on [[Skaro]], in which all vegetation had been turned to [[stone]], presumably by the use of [[neutron bomb]]s in the [[neutronic war]] (or, alternatively, in the [[Thousand Year War]]). | |||

The [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] materialised in the jungle when it first arrived on Skaro. The [[First Doctor]], [[Susan Foreman|Susan]], [[Ian Chesterton|Ian]] and [[Barbara Wright|Barbara]] found the body of a [[magnedon]] there. A party of [[Thal]]s led by [[Temmosus]] made their camp in the jungle during their quest to save their people. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Daleks (TV story)}}) According to one account, which took place some time earlier, Susan landed the TARDIS in the jungle in an attempt to visit [[Venus]].

[[Category:Skaro]] | When the Doctor used the [[fast return switch]] in an attempt to return Ian and Barbara to their native time, it gave out halfway through and brought the TARDIS back to the petrified jungle, 50 [[cycle]]s after their last visit. Exploring, the group noted that life was beginning to return to the area. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Return to Skaro (audio story)}}) | ||
During [[Operation Human Factor]], [[Jamie McCrimmon]] observed the petrified forest beyond the [[Dalek City]], the Scot finding it to be as lifeless and unwelcoming as the rest of Skaro. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Evil of the Daleks (BBC Books novelisation)}}) | |||
At some point, presumably in the [[41st century]], an area of the jungle was recovered from Skaro by [[human]]s and taken to [[Station 7]] for the [[Space Security Service]] to research. A [[Slyther]], [[Varga plant]] and the same magnedon the First Doctor came across was included. The [[Eleventh Doctor]] and [[Amy Pond]] arrived in the jungle area shortly before a Dalek force attacked while searching for a human experiment on Dalek nature which disgusted them. The jungle was destroyed along with the station when the Daleks concluded the experiment was not on board. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Only Good Dalek (comic story)}}) | |||
When [[Anya Kingdom]], the [[Tenth Doctor]] and [[Davros]] were brought to [[Kembel]], the latter two compared the damage that the [[Time Destructor]] had done to the planet to the petrified [[jungle]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Dalek Defence (audio story)}}) | |||
