Description

POLISHED PETRIFIED WOOD SLICE

This polished tree petrified wood slice is presented as a fossil specimen with a Miocene identification. Its slice format and polished finish make it suitable for fossil collectors, natural history displays, geology enthusiasts, educational collections, and decorative mineral and fossil presentations. The specimen offers an attractive way to explore the preservation of ancient wood through geological time while adding a natural-history focal point to a collection or display.

IDENTIFICATION AND GEOLOGICAL CONTEXT

The supplied identification for this specimen is Miocene. The Miocene is a geological epoch within the Neogene Period, known for significant changes in terrestrial and marine environments and for the continued development of modern-style ecosystems. Petrified wood is fossil wood preserved through geological processes in which the original organic structure may be retained while mineral material takes its place or fills the spaces within the wood. The result is a durable fossil form that can be cut and polished for closer observation and display.

This listing identifies the specimen as a polished tree petrified wood slice. No additional formation, species, family, or detailed geological zone identification is assigned to the specimen in the supplied product information.

LOCALITY

The listed locality is Mount Cidolog, Pasanggrahan, Sagaranten, Sukabumi Regency, West Java, Indonesia. This locality information is an important part of the specimen’s cataloguing details and gives the piece a specific geographic context within Indonesia. Its combination of a stated Miocene identification and West Java locality makes it a distinctive addition to collections focused on Indonesian fossils, petrified wood, regional geology, or broader paleontological material.

DISPLAY AND COLLECTOR USE

The polished slice format allows the specimen to be handled and displayed as a natural-history object. It can be incorporated into a fossil cabinet, geology classroom collection, office display, study area, or curated arrangement of petrified wood and other fossils. Its presentation is appropriate for collectors who appreciate specimens that combine geological interest with the visible character of a prepared natural material.

The specimen may also be used as an educational conversation piece when discussing fossilisation, geological time, preservation, and the relationship between organic structures and the rock record.
