Then post that evidence and I'd be more than happy to look at it. But please don't have it be something so easily disproven.

You didn't easily disprove it. You incorrectly assumed and were corrected based on your own source lol

As for the validity of the claims made in your source, that's entirely debatable.

In case you missed it

Those are actually both really cool, never heard of them before.

The lake: the animals aren't actually turning the stone, it's a process more similar to salting or mummification. The photographer who took all those pictures is a man by thr name of Nick Brandt who found carcasses washed up and positioned them, something he wouldn't be able to do if they were actually stone.

The well: that actually is a potential precursor step to petrification, especially when they describe how the teddy bear is totally saturated with thr mineral build up. That being said, 'petrification' is the actual replacement of component molecules with minerals which doesn't appear to be happening here (ie, the bike is still a bike, just covered in stone, not a bike that has turned to stone if that makes sense). That said, this would probably be one of the places where petrification would happen thr fastest.

Yeah I understand that the animals aren't actually turning to stone, more of an extreme calcification process. I have also stumbled upon some advanced research being done on the subject. Not any of these in particular but something called Nucleophilic Substitution

I will say though, these are both definitely a lot cooler than the original post.
