Explanation:

Petrified fossils form from organic material like wood. They often form when plants are buried quickly, which can happen underwater. Areas with petrified wood were likely forests in the past. Uplifting can expose these fossils. Volcanic material isn't a requirement for petrified - fossil formation and the area couldn't be void of organic material if there are petrified fossils.
