About Petrified wood
Petrified Wood, known as petrified wood, forms when a tree or woody plant has turned to stone due to being buried by sediment and protected from decay. Petro in Greek means "rock" or "stone". As groundwater flows through the sediment it replaces the tree or plant material with an inorganic material such as calcite, opal, calcite, or silica. The result is a fossil of the original woody material that can exhibit preserved details of the bark and wood. It can be found all over the world.
