Fossilized Wood Sphere & Stand

Fossilized Wood Sphere (210 million years old), also known as petrified wood, is wood that has been preserved in the fossil record. Over time, it’s often the part of a plant that is best preserved and most easily found. Fossilized wood can be either petrified or not. If it is petrified, all organic materials have been replaced with minerals, typically silica, while maintaining the original structure of the wood.

The process of petrification occurs when wood becomes buried in an environment rich in minerals, such as volcanic ash or sediment carried by water. The lack of oxygen in these environments slows down the decay process, allowing minerals to replace the wood’s cellular structure.

Petrified wood is valuable for scientific study because it provides a three-dimensional representation of the original organic material, allowing researchers to understand the environment and conditions of the past. It’s also sought after as a decorative material due to its often beautiful and intricate patterns.
