The Appreciation of Fossil Wood: Breaking Misunderstandings and Building Healthy Aesthetic Culture

The growing popularity of fossil wood has led to an increasing number of enthusiasts, but many still harbor misconceptions about its aesthetic value. It is essential to overcome these misunderstandings to foster a healthy and correct appreciation of fossil wood. This will contribute to the protection of fossil wood resources, the creation of a fossil wood aesthetic culture, and the development of the fossil culture industry.

1. The Multifaceted Beauty of Fossil Wood

Fossil wood, much like other types of stone, carries the essence of both wood and stone. There is wood within the stone, and stone within the wood—a beautiful contradiction that gives fossil wood its unique appeal.

2. Fossil Wood: The Characteristics of Both Wood and Stone

Fossil wood was once wood, and its roots lie in this origin. When appreciating fossilized wood, it is crucial to focus on its tree-like features. These features include:

• Annual rings
• Bark
• Xylem
• Tree nodes
• Branches
• Tree insects and tree holes

Additionally, fossil wood reflects the living conditions of the tree:

• Healthy growth
• Encountering pests and diseases
• Decay
• Carbonization (due to lightning or fire)

The fossil wood also captures special relationships between trees and their environment:

• Parasitic or symbiotic tree-wrapped trees
• Symbiotic relationships between trees and other plants
• Tree bouldering

Fossilized trees can also bear the marks of environmental influences such as:

• Mudslides
• Volcanic eruptions
• Crustal changes

These natural occurrences might lead to unique phenomena, such as:

• Twisting and winding
• Bumping or biting marks
• Horizontal or inclined inversion

All these extraordinary conditions can be perfectly preserved through the process of lithification. Fossil wood thus serves as a vivid testament to the original state of trees and their relationships with the environment.

In my experience with inspecting wood fossils from places like Chaoyang, I have often found myself captivated and moved by these raw, natural states. This deep admiration for nature sparks an emotional connection and a greater appreciation for the beauty and history embedded in fossil wood.
