Petrified wood has traditionally been divided into two categories based on preservation processes: permineralization (where tissues are entombed within a mineralfilled matrix) and replacement (where organic anatomical features have been replicated by inorganic materials). New analytical evidence suggests that for most petrified wood, permineralization and replacement are not independent ...

Stein made the generalization that quartz in silicified wood was typically a result of diagenetic transformation from an opaline precursor. This opal A → opal CT → quartz transformation sequence is welldocumented for the diagenesis of siliceous marine sediments and for siliceous hot spring sinter, but evidence from fossil wood is less clear.

In silicification of wood, silica permeates into and occupies cracks and voids in wood such as vessels and cell walls. [1] The original organic matter is retained throughout the process and will gradually decay through time. [2] In the silicification of carbonates, silica replaces carbonates by the same volume. [3]

coal ball, a lump of petrified plant matter, frequently spheroid, found in coal seams of the Upper Carboniferous Period (from 325,000,000 to 280,000,000 years ago). Coal balls are important sources of fossil information relating to the forests preceding the Coal Age. As a result of a variety of conditions, small pockets of plant debris in Carboniferous swamps, infiltrated by mineral salts ...

• Petrified (fossilized) wood is created by permineralization or replacement by a mineral. The mineral quartz, usually jasper or agate, commonly replaces the organic wood material to create petrified or fossilized wood. Jasper, opal, chalcedony or even pyrite can sometimes replace shell material of marine invertebrates through the same process.

Coal balls occur in the paralic coal basins (those of coastal swamps) of Carboniferous age in America and Europe. Strangely, the coalforming coastal swamps of Tertiary and ~retaceous age have never yielded coal balls of a similar type, although some equivalent but somewhat different types of permineralization occur (Gothan, 1937, ...

For many decades, wood silicification has been viewed as a relatively simple process of permineralization that occurs when silica dissolved in groundwater precipitates to fill vacant spaces within the porous tissue. The presence of specific silica minerals is commonly ascribed to diagenetic changes.

Fossil forests have worldwide distribution, commonly preserving mineralized wood that displays vivid hues and complex color patterns. However, the origin of petrified color has received little scientific attention.
