Abstract
Cathodoluminescenec (CL) imaging and spectroscopy have been used to clarify growth fabric textures observed in authigenic and biogenic minerals during diagenetic process. A cathodomicrofacies analysis has been developed in the field of environmental geology and archaeology, especially for the study with biogenic carbonates. Few investigations of silicified fossils have been done so far. In this study a microfacies analysis of petrified wood has been carried out by CL imaging and spectroscopy combined with Raman spectroscopy.
