When a mineral slowly takes the place of original, once-living material petrified fossils form this way

Petrified wood is considered a rock, one that may be composed of a single replacing mineral, often quartz or pyrite, but possibly with others in combinations. Petrified wood is not considered metamorphic. It is also considered a fossil.
The fossil remains of dinosaur bones come in a different forms. Most have been petrified with calcium, yielding a stony texture and appearance. Agatized bones were petrified with silica or quartz, which gives the bones a glassy and colorful look.
A fossil formed through the process of permineralization, where minerals gradually replace the organic materials in the organism's remains, creating a rock-like replica of the original organism. This process preserves the structure and sometimes even the cellular details of the organism.
