Petrification is the process which sees fossils form from organic matter, and this occurs as the object’s pore spaces are filled with minerals. These minerals are most often different forms of silica: like opal, quartz and chalcedony. Unlike other plant fossils – which are usually impressions or compressions – petrified wood is a three dimensional representation of organic matter.
