Petrified Sponges & Fossil Wood Materials

Thu, 25 May 2017 16:50:41 +0000

Permineralization happens when pore spaces in a fossil are filled with minerals, usually silica, and harden in place. Most petrified wood and many dinosaur bones are preserved in this way. In this lab we are going to take a piece of sponge with lots of holes, sort of like a dinosaur bone,..
