How did the petrified forest's wood get petrified?
The wood in the Petrified Forest became petrified through a process called permineralization. When trees fell and were buried under sediment, mineral-rich water seeped in, replacing the organic material cell by cell. Over millions of years, the silica and other minerals crystallized, turning the wood into stone while preserving its original structure and appearance. This process results in the colorful, fossilized logs seen today.
