What is the hardest and/or densest wood in the world, past or present?
I'm curious as to what the hardest existing wood is.
The most common answer seems to be Lignum Vitae, which is oft said to be both the hardest and most dense wood.
However, some sources say that Black Ironwood is the hardest and densest. Others say that while it isn't the hardest, it is still the most dense.
Yet other sources invariably claim that Petrified Wood is the hardest wood, yet I think that once wood becomes petrified, it is no longer truly a wood. It USED to be wood, but just as gemstones USED to be minerals floating about in magma, it no longer is. It's a type of fossil really.
So, does anyone really know? I did a few google searches already, nothing too extensive, but since most of the sources seemed both contradictive and unreliable, I decided to pop over here and see if anyone has experience or knowledge pertaining to this.
Cheers

Comparison of some of the native woods in San Diego County, California with woods from other areas, including California, the eastern United States and tropical regions. Note: Angiosperm woods are often classified botanically as "hardwoods," while gymnosperms are called "softwoods." Although balsa is very soft and light, it is placed in the hardwood category because it is an angiosperm.
