Genesis:Silicified wood is also called wood fossil or tree jade, which was formed by silicification of buried trees in geological history, which keeps the original textures of woods. The silicified wood in Mesozoic nonmarine sediments are mostly pine and cypress, whereas the Cenozoic sediments host mostly silicified angiosperm, there for significant for paleoenvironment and plant study.
