Petrified wood (from the Greek root petro meaning rock or stone; literally wood turned into stone) is the name given to a special type of fossilized remains of terrestrial vegetation. It is the result of a tree or tree-like plants having completely transitioned to stone by the process of permineralization.rtificial petrified wood has been produced in a Washington laboratory. In the process, small cubes of pine are soaked in an acid bath for two days, then in a silica solution for another two. The product is then cooked at 1400 Â°C in an argon atmosphere for two hours.
Introduction. Petrified, or silicified, wood is a type of fossil that has been found all over the world in Argentina, Denmark, Mexico, China, Japan, New Zealand, Indonesia, and much of the southwestern United States.ne of the largest deposits of petrified wood is found in the Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona. The land that is now much of Petrified Forest National Park was set aside in 1906 by president Theodore Roosevelt as the nation's second national monument, which Congress then made a national park in 1962 (Uhler).
