Fossilized forest[edit]

I added a wiki link for Petrified wood in the article so that people have some idea of what a fossilized forest is. I haven't been to the museum, so if this is does not match what the museum displays, please let me know or remove the wiki link. Kirby777 (talk) 21:38, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Kirby777: I have never been to the museum either, but multiple sources said that the wood was fossilized. I did not include the term "petrified" because the sources did not use the Japanese characters for petrified wood, so I'm assuming that the wood was in an early state on its way to eventually becoming truly petrified since it's a process that takes millions of years. ❯❯❯ Mccunicano ☕️ 02:26, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
