PETRIFIED WOOD (SOFT BODIED)

Petrified wood is the name given to ancient wood that has been turned into stone (fossilized) through the process of permineralization. All of the organic matter gets replaced by minerals, primarily silica, leaving fine details like tree rings still visible. For this to happen, the wood needs to be buried in an environment both low in oxygen to prevent decomposition and with flowing, mineral-laden water. FossilEra has petrified wood for sale from many locations, including Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, Washington, and Madagascar.
