Trees began fossilizing conditions covered them with mud, sand, or volcanic ash before they rotted. Water seeped through the mud and sand into the buried logs. It filled the empty cells of the decaying wood and mineral matter until after millions of years all the wood of the tree was gone and rocks and minerals were in its place. It had turned into solid stone. Some fossil wood still shows original wood structure, even under a microscope. Petrified forests date from different geological periods. This wood is over 150 million years old.
