what is petrified wood
Petrified Wood or Fossil Wood (from the Latin root Petro meaning ‘rock’ or ‘stone’, literally wood turned into stone) is the name given to a special type of fossilized remains of terrestrial vegetation. Petrifaction is the result of a tree or tree-like plants having been replaced by stone via a mineralization process.
