Fossile Wood Wire in Drop Plate

The Fossil wood is the result of a process of fossilization chemical-physical through which the organic matter of which the wood is constituted (cellulose, lignine, etc.) is replaced, molecule after molecule, by mineral substances including mainly the yes.

This process is called silicization and tends to preserve in an exceptional way the characteristics of wood. It is also a very rare event since wood is usually decommissioned in a short time.
