Have a look at this a super rare permineralized fossil wood covered with quartz from the Triassic Age! To start, let's talk about permineralization. This fascinating process occurs when minerals gradually seep into the tiny spaces within organic material such as wood. Over time, these minerals replace the organic matter, preserving the structure of the wood in stunning detail. Essentially, the wood becomes mineralized while still retaining its original cellular structure. Video Credits: Pacific
