15 paź 2024 · An example of a macrofossil could be a petrified tree or a dinosaur bone. Preserved remains are defined as fossils if they are older than 10,000 years old. The oldest fossils are almost 4 billion years old and are traces of ocean-dwelling bacteria.
To see and study fossils embedded within sedimentary rock, the rocky matrix must first be removed, a process known as fossil preparation. In this video, learn about some of the standard and specialized tools to prepare fossils.
Petrified fossils result from permineralization, the replacement of once-living matter by minerals. Solutions containing silicates, carbonates, iron or other minerals seep into the gaps and spaces between the cells, first encasing the cells and eventually replacing the cells themselves.
Erosion eventually removed the softer rocks and partially uncovered the petrified forests, which now lie in colorful fragments on the park’s floor. (See also fossils; national parks.) Over large areas of the western United States are forests that have turned to stone.
