fossilized plants

Fossilized plants are the preserved remains or traces of ancient plants that have undergone natural processes over millions of years, turning them into stone or other durable forms. This preservation occurs through methods like mineral replacement, compression, or carbonization, capturing details of the plant's structure such as leaves, stems, or seeds. Fossilized plants help scientists understand Earth's past climates, ecosystems, and plant evolution. They are found in sedimentary rocks and serve as valuable records of plant life from different geological periods, offering insights into how plants have changed and adapted over time.
