A 100 million-year-old fossilized tree may not be made of wood due to the process of fossilization, which can replace organic material with minerals over time. In some cases, the tree may have undergone permineralization, where minerals infiltrate the cellular structure, creating a rock-like replica rather than preserving the original wood composition. Additionally, environmental factors and the tree's specific conditions at the time of burial can influence the preservation process, leading to alternative forms like coal or even petrified wood.

What is fossilized tree sap?
Fossilized tree sap is called amber. It is formed when tree resin hardens and becomes buried in the ground, where it can undergo a process of polymerization over millions of years. Amber often contains prehistoric insects or other small organisms preserved within it.
