∙ 13y agoThe process of petryfying wood is called petrification. It is the process of replacement of the cellular components of a plant (or animal) with dissolved minerals that seep through the soil. This results in a "mineral copy" of the original plant or animal - or fossil. The original plant material is normally lost through decomposition. The process normally takes place under aerobic conditions where the normal decomposition process is slowed or halted.
