Question: can you tell me what is a petrified fossil? detail left after an organism decays or records of an organism's activity? provide evidence to prove your answer is right
A petrified fossil is a type of fossil that is formed when an organism's hard parts, such as bones, shells, or wood, are replaced by minerals. The minerals slowly fill in the spaces between the original material, slowly preserving the shape and structure of the original organism. In some cases, the original organism's color and texture can be preserved. Petrified fossils are some of the best evidence of ancient organisms, providing valuable information about the past.
