WEBIn geology, petrifaction or petrifiion (from Ancient Greek πέτρα (pétra) 'rock, stone') is the process by which organic material becomes a fossil through the replacement of the original material and the filling of the original pore spaces with minerals. Petrified wood typifies this process, but all organisms, from bacteria to ...
WEBPetrifactions and permineralizations are two types of preservation that provide exceptional resolution of (parts of) organisms that became immersed in water with high concentrations of dissolved minerals (, silica, calcium carbonate) (Plates 1–5 ). Once the mineral is precipitated and hardened, the organism is entombed in rock and often ...
