Oligocene and Miocene caldera basins contain abundant petrified wood that ranges in composition from incipient silicification to complete permineralization. Examination of specimens from 21 localities reveals that the petrifaction sequence can follow multiple pathways.

Silicified Dadoxylontype wood occurs in different horizons of sandy/arkosic fluvial facies and is more common; one of the best known is the Štikov Arkoses of the Kumburk Formation, which is stratigraphically correlated with the Žaltman Arkoses in the ISB due to the occurrence of those fossils (Pešek et al., 2001). Fossiliferous Stará Paka ...

• Petrified (fossilized) wood is created by permineralization or replacement by a mineral. The mineral quartz, usually jasper or agate, commonly replaces the organic wood material to create petrified or fossilized wood. Jasper, opal, chalcedony or even pyrite can sometimes replace shell material of marine invertebrates through the same process.

For many decades, wood silicification has been viewed as a relatively simple process of permineralization that occurs when silica dissolved in groundwater precipitates to fill vacant spaces within the porous tissue. The presence of specific silica minerals is commonly ascribed to diagenetic changes.

coal ball, a lump of petrified plant matter, frequently spheroid, found in coal seams of the Upper Carboniferous Period (from 325,000,000 to 280,000,000 years ago). Coal balls are important sources of fossil information relating to the forests preceding the Coal Age. As a result of a variety of conditions, small pockets of plant debris in Carboniferous swamps, infiltrated by mineral salts ...

Ancient forests that once stood tall and dark are now buried, making their way back into daylight as coal. Researcher Patrick G. Hatcher wants to know how. "One problem with studying how wood converts to coal is that the reactions take place over an extremely long period," said Hatcher, who is an associate professor of fuel science and geosciences at Penn State. When trying to duplicate those ...

In Oregon, permineralized and petrified wood is generally preserved by silica derived from the alteration of volcanic rocks. In Ohio through Iowa another form of permineralized plant is found within coal seams, preserved by calcite in nodules colloquially called "coal balls". In black shales, plant material is permineralized by pyrite, again ...

Coal Balls. Because coal balls are accumulations of (degrading) plant material (technically peat), they also are an excellent source of various forms of decaying organisms, including fungi. Numerous fungal remains have been found in coal balls, including hyphae, spores, and various types of reproductive structures.

Petrified wood is a fossil. It forms when plant material is buried by sediment and protected from decay due to oxygen and organisms. Then, groundwater rich in dissolved solids flows through the sediment, replacing the original plant material with silica, calcite, pyrite, or another inorganic material such as opal.

Fossil forests have worldwide distribution, commonly preserving mineralized wood that displays vivid hues and complex color patterns. However, the origin of petrified color has received little scientific attention. Color of silicified wood may be influenced by the presence of relict organic matter, but the most significant contribution comes from trace metals. This study reports quantitative ...

In silicification of wood, silica permeates into and occupies cracks and voids in wood such as vessels and cell walls. [1] The original organic matter is retained throughout the process and will gradually decay through time. [2] In the silicification of carbonates, silica replaces carbonates by the same volume. [3]

Silicified wood is also known as petrified wood or wood jade. These fossils are the result of the silicification of ancient buried trees, such as cycads, ginkgo trees, conifers and cyatheas. These fossils preserve the external form and internal structure of the original plants. Based on the degree of crystallisation and petrification ...

In recent years there has been a major effort, building on the work of Carlquist (1975, 2001) to compile a list of fossil wood features (FIGS., ) believed to be of ecologic versus phylogenetic significance, and to use these with other proxy records, such as leaf physiognomy, to infer paleoclimate of fossil angiosperms (Wiemann et al., 1998, 1999, 2001).
