Petrified Wood - Washington State 61777169589f5dabe7600c37abe58afb under the tutorage of hisFrom ancient Greek meaning "wood turned into rock", Petrified Wood is an unique form of fossilization. In some instances all the organic matter has been replaced by minerals (usually a silicate, such as quartz) during a process called permineralization replacement. However, many petrified wood specimens undergo a unique fossilization process, where silicates bond with the cellulose structure of the wood, thereby preserving organic matter. Regardless
