context_page_description: Fossil wood is wood that is preserved in the fossil record. Over time the wood will usually be the part of a plant that is best preserved. Fossil wood may or may not be petrified. The study of fossil wood is sometimes called palaeoxylology, with a "palaeoxylologist" somebody who studies fossil wood.
  The fossil wood may be the only part of the plant that has been preserved, with the rest of the plant completely unknown: therefore such wood may get a special kind of botanical name. This will usually include "xylon" and a term indicating its presumed affinity, such as Araucarioxylon, Palmoxylon, or Castanoxylon.
