Petrified remains are formed when organic material, such as wood or bone, is buried under sediment and gradually replaced by minerals over time. Through a process called permineralization, groundwater rich in minerals infiltrates the remains, depositing minerals like silica, calcite, or pyrite. As the organic material decays, these minerals crystallize and create a stone-like structure, preserving the original shape and details of the remains. The result is a fossilized specimen that can provide insights into past life forms.

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.
