Petrified Wood

Petrified WoodFossilized wood is the remains of terrestrial vegetation. Petrification is the result of a tree or plants having been replaced by stone via a mineralization process. The organic materials making up cell walls have been replaced by minerals. The petrification process occurs underground when wood becomes buried in water, mud, or volcanic ash. The burial reduces the availability of oxygen, which inhibits aerobic decomposition by bacteria and fungi.
