Is fossilised wood safe?

[StripySnailGirl04]

Hello,
Is fossilised wood safe to use in aquariums if I wash it with hot water.
I went on a fossil hunt yesterday and found piles of fossilised wood amongst the London clay (Eocene Epoch) to add to my fossil collection.
I have alot with me so can I use some for my tank?
Thanks!

I would have thought so

I guess, as long as it isn't coal

Yes it is pretty common aquascaping material

Yes, completely safe. Just make sure it’s actual fossilized wood, and not some rock.

if it's some rock i think you need to make sure it will not alter tank water
