The area was once a forest.

The area was uplifted.

The area was buried in sediment.

The area was probably covered by water.

Petrification of a dead plant or animal organisms occurs when rock mineral displaces the organic elements in the structure of the biotic matter or these minerals seep in between the spaces and pores within the dead plant or organism and become part of the material.

Explanation:

Petrification occurs under high pressure. This is why this process occurs in the crust after layers of sediments create enough pressure on the dead organic matter buried in with the sediments. This phenomenon commonly begins on the ocean floor where dead marine life sinks to the bottom and is buried by sediments over many years.  

Occasionally, tectonic plate forces uplift these petrified fossils from deep in the crust exposing them on the surface like in this case.

2. A 260 em cylinder container was used to collect an undisturbed soil sample. The container and soil weighed 403 g when dried.
sineoko [7]

Answer:

The Bulk density = 1.3 g/cm³

the porosity of the sample is 132 cm³

Explanation:

Given:

Volume of cylinder = 260 cm³

Mass of container and the soil = 403 g

Mass of the empty container = 65 g

Thus,

The mass of the soil is = 403 - 65 = 338 g  

Now,

The Bulk density = \frac{\textup{Mass}}{\textup{Volume}}

or

The Bulk density = \frac{\textup{338 g}}{\textup{260}}

or

The Bulk density = 1.3 g/cm³

also,

average particle density for mineral soil is usually given as 2.65 g/cm³

i.e the air present in the given soil sample has reduced its density from 2.65 g/cm³ to 1.3 g/cm³

The mass of the whole sample = Volume × Density

= 260 × 2.65

= 689 gm

but,

The actual mass of the dry sample = 338 g

thus,

Mass of air in the sample = 689 - 338 = 351 g

Therefore,

the volume of 351 g soil = \frac{\textup{mass defect of soil}}{\textup{density of soil}}

=  \frac{\textup{351}}{\textup{2.65}}

= 132.45 cm³

so the porosity of the sample is 132 cm³
