Mother Shiptons petrifying well
This is my inspiration for exploring fossilizing books, the water from the well has unusually high mineral content, meaning if an object if placed there within a matter of months the object begins to get a stone like exterior, after a few years the objects gradually become completely petrified, and become a part of the stone of the well. http://www.mothershiptonscave.com/the_petrifying_well.htm
