What happened to the wood that made it that way in the beautiful petrified trees in the forests of Arizona? They believe that petrified wood is so old that in the prehistoric period it has emerged. But do you know how petrified wood was made? This guide will show you how. What is petrified wood and how is it formed?
Fossil wood is considered to have grown when the material of the plant is buried by sediment. When the wood is buried deep in the muck, it is protected from decay caused by exposure to oxygen and organisms.

Here we go again 🙄
It doesn’t take millions of years for something to become petrified.
More Fake Science....
Proof of near quick burial by water and sediment and subsequent mineralization.
225 million? How’s and a few hundred or thousand years?
The idea that it takes a bazillion years compared to a much shorter time is the world view one takes....
A world wide flood / inundation period provides a strong mechanism for this process, while gradual erosion and slow burial over extended periods factually rejects the process. Logs decay rather quickly and most examples of petrified wood include bark, cambium and heartwood which decay in that order.
Either “God said”, or “ man says”, chose wisely!
They usually do not agree.
really bad English makes it difficult to understand what is meant.
Will you please point out where the article says it took 25 million years to petrify?
I must have missed that part.
Sorry, 225.
When I was a young boy, I found a petrified pear in our yard buried in leaves under a bush.
We had a pear tree in the yard only twenty feet from the bush.
I don’t think it took very long at all to petrify that pear.
Bring back Pangea!
the Earth is 5 Billion years old PLUS a few million....That’s a fact.
Alright, go make a petrified tree in your backyard. Or a lump of coal. Or a fossil. How about make some oil within the earth and migrate it to a trap where it can be produced. What one believe’s about the age of the earth is not a tenet of salvation.
Was it replaced by silica or some other mineral or what is just desiccated?
Correct.
A world wide flood / inundation period provides a strong mechanism for this process ...James Hutton, an 18th-century devout Scot Presbyterian, started out trying to prove the occurrence of Noah’s Great Flood within a 6000-year-old worldview. His field studies led him to conclude that the earth was much older. See Hutton’s Unconformity.
God bless.
It was replaced by mineral.
I can not tell what. I doubt it was silica because it was not buried in earth but leaves; Maple, pear and what ever the bush was.
Could you cut it in two with a saw?
Well I never tried.
My younger sisters (twins) asked to borrow it when they were in middle school for a science project.
Silly me, I said yes and did not see it again for 40+ years.
When my mother died and we were clearing out the house I found one of their projects.
They had broken it so that they could both have a piece for their individual project.
It was barely recognizable as a pear any longer.
Properly cut, it would make a lovely table top.
I have a chunk of it the size of a basketball in my yard. It weighs as much as a truck battery.
