What Are Petrified Fossils? Petrified fossils are formed when the original organic material of a once-living organism is slowly replaced by minerals, effectively turning to stone. This occurs over an extended period of time through a process known as petrification or permineralization.
In geology, petrifaction or petrification (from Ancient Greek πέτρα (pétra) 'rock, stone') is the process by which organic material becomes a fossil through the replacement of the original material and the filling of the original pore spaces with minerals.
