Petrified wood is a fossil that forms when plant material is buried by sediment and protected from decay due to oxygen and organisms. Mineral-laden groundwater that flows through the sediment leads to permineralization, where minerals precipitate out of the groundwater and replace fill the interiors of cell, with the plant's cell walls acting as a template. The result is a gorgeous petrified preservation of the original tree structure.
?Measures 10 inches at widest point.
