  • Fossil wood, also known as fossilized tree, 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 (and most easily found). Fossil wood may or may not be petrified, in which case it is known as petrified wood or petrified tree. 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 (wood of Araucaria or some related genus), Palmoxylon (wood of an indeterminate palm), or (wood of an indeterminate chinkapin).

  • 木化石是以化石的狀態保存著的木材。經過一段時間後，木材通常會是植物保留得最好（且最容易被找到）的一部份。木化石可能會也可能不會被石化。 對而言，可能除了木化石之外，其他的部份都完全未知，因此此類木材可能會有一特別種類的。通常在生物名的最後會有個「木」字，如「南洋杉型木」。 (zh)
