How does wood form?

Petrified wood is a fossil of a once living tree; the fallen tree is first tree is covered with sediments , then the organic material is replaced gradually by minerals (usually silicate minerals), retaining its shape and form. Petrified wood often looks like normal wood and displays annular ring patterns, bark, vessels etc. Petrified wood normally lacks the same definition that live (or recently dead) wood does. One obvious difference is that petrified wood is considerably more dense than wood.
