Description
Petrified wood is the fossilization of plant materials, mainly woody stems, trunks, and roots.When freshly toppled tree is covered with ash or other oxygen-depriving materials, te process of decomposition is halted. Instead, the process of permineralization slowly replaces the organic constants over time.After millions of years, movements in the tectonic plates, changes in weather patterns, or variations in erosion eventually uncover thee stone trees.
