Detailed explanation-1: -As time passes by the minerals get deposited into the body of the organisms and replace all the organic matter and finally form a petrified fossil. Hence, the correct answer is option A, petrified fossils.
Detailed explanation-2: -Whale bones petrified by calcite, sand dollars petrified by iron pyrite crystals, dinosaur eggs and even ancient dung preserved as stone have been found around the world.
Detailed explanation-3: -Petrified fossils: Fossils often form when an organism’s remains become petrified, or “turned into stone.” In this process, mineral-rich water soaks into the small cavities and pores of the original organ-ism. The minerals precipitate from the water and fill the spaces.
Detailed explanation-4: -Petrified wood is a type of fossilized wood that can form in several different ways. This fossilized wood is normally a preserved section of a tree trunk in which minerals have replaced most, if not all, its organic material (minerals instead of wood).
