Petrified Wood
Posted July 12, 2010

Is it unusual to find wood that is partially petrified?
One side is petrified and the other side looks like regular dried wood.
Well, either both sides are petrified or the side you believe to be petrified has simply absorbed some material like oil or resin that makes it appear to be petrified. Petrification is a long process, on the order of 100 years or so, and involves an entire piece of wood being encased in sediment that blocks off oxygen access and slows decay long enough for minerals to flow through the plant structures and gradually build a mold of them as they slowly decay. If any part of the wood was not completely covered and getting petrified, it would decay completely long before the other part had time to petrify.
