What is a petrified fossil?
A petrified fossil is a fossil formed when organic material is replaced by minerals, turning it into stone. This process preserves the structure of the original organism but fills it with minerals, essentially creating a rock replica of the organism. Petrified fossils provide valuable information about ancient life forms and environments.
Can petrified fossils form when the minerals in water make a copy of the organism?
Yes, petrified fossils can form when the organic material of an organism is replaced by minerals from water over time. This process is called permineralization, where minerals fill in the pores and cavities of the organism's remains, creating a detailed replica of the original structure.

What is an organism's organic tissue most likely replaced with when an organism is petrified?
