This process would likely result in petrified wood, which forms when organic material is replaced by minerals over time. This can happen to ancient redwood pieces that are subjected to extreme pressure and mineral infiltration, transforming them into fossilized wood.

Limestone is the rock that is squeezed and heated to form marble. The high pressures and temperatures cause the limestone to recrystallize and become the metamorphic rock known as marble.
The cause of a liquid turning into a solid is that the molecules from a liquid start to decrease because of the temperature dropping lower until the molecules are squeezed together and hold a shape.
... they can become compacted, leading to the formation of sedimentary rocks over time. This process involves the removal of water and air from the sediments, resulting in increased density and hardness of the rock.
