Petrified Wood is a fossil in which the organic remains have been replaced by minerals in the slow process of turning to stone. Special rare conditions must be met in order for the fallen wood to be transformed into a fossil. In general, the fallen trees get buried in an environment free of oxygen which preserves the original tree structure. Fossilization also requires a source of mineral rich water flowing through the wood, replacing the organic tree structure with inorganic stone.
