PETRIFIED WOOD

Petrified wood (from the Greekroot \"petro\" meaning \"rock\" or \"stone\", literally(\"wood turned into stone\") it is a type of fossil: it consists offossil wood where all the organic materials have been replaced with materials(most often a silicate, such as quartz), while retaining the orginal structureof the wood. The petrifaction processoccurs underground, when wood becomes buried under sediment and is initiallypreserved due to a lack of oxygen.Mineral-rich water flowing through the sediment deposits minerals in theplant’s cells and as the plant’s lignin and cellulose decay away, a stone mouldforms in its place. In general, woodtakes less than 100 years to petrify.The organic matter needs to become petrified before it decomposescompletely, A forest where the wood has petrified becomes known as a petrifiedforest.
