Geological Identification
The Miocene is a division of the Neogene Period within the Cenozoic Era. It represents a significant interval in Earth history during which forests, mammals and marine ecosystems underwent major development and change. A Miocene petrified wood specimen provides a tangible connection to this geological period and offers an opportunity to explore the preservation of ancient plant material through fossilisation.
Petrified wood forms when buried wood is preserved and progressively mineralised over geological time. Groundwater carrying dissolved minerals can enter the cellular spaces and replace or infill portions of the original organic structure. This process may preserve features of the wood while transforming it into a durable fossil. Polishing reveals the internal surface and makes the patterns, grain-like structures and mineral character easier to appreciate.
Locality
This specimen is associated with Mount Cidolog, Pasanggrahan, Sagaranten, Sukabumi Regency, West Java, Indonesia. West Java is part of the geologically diverse Indonesian archipelago, a region shaped by volcanic activity, sedimentation and complex tectonic processes. The stated locality adds geographical interest for collectors who document fossil material by origin as well as by identification and age.
Collector and Display Interest
A polished petrified wood slice combines palaeontological interest with an attractive natural presentation. It can be displayed as part of a fossil cabinet, geology collection, study table or educational arrangement. The polished face allows the fossilised wood to be viewed directly, while the slice format provides a clear cross-section of the material. It is also suitable for collectors interested in Miocene fossils, Indonesian geological specimens and natural history objects with a documented locality.
Because petrified wood is a fossil material, each piece reflects the preservation history of ancient plant remains and the mineral conditions present during fossilisation. Natural variation in pattern and colour is an important part of the character of this type of specimen. The polished finish is intended to enhance visual appreciation while retaining the geological identity of the material.
