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.

They usually do not agree.
Properly cut, it would make a lovely table top.

The Petrified Forest is our favorite national park. There were places there which were so desolate and timeless, without water, and lifeless except for the desert scrub, which seemed more dead than alive. It made you contemplate the immensity of time, and how very short our lives are.
The town of Holbrook is an interesting place as well. The capital of Navajo county, it seemed to me to be Navajo, Hispanic, and White in equal and separate portions, mixing only at the town’s Safeway store which catered to each.
