Heheh. Amen, brother!

Ya know, though, technically speaking, "pertrified" isn't a type of wood, is
it? More like a state of transformation. Before it petrified it had some
species.



well, there's no real line. lots of species absorb minerals as they
grow and have enough in them to be hard on tooling all along. they
fall, get buried, absorb more and more and eventually the organic
stuff gets completely displaced.
