What is fossil stone?

1 Answer
What is fossil stone?
Fossil stone isn’t necessarily stone. It’s any natural material that has either formed or changed due to fossilization, which, over millions of years, replaces the organic materials in rock with minerals. The result is a super-hard, totally different object.
