petrified
This term describes a state of extreme paralysis, whether psychological or physical. When used to describe fear, it suggests a level of terror that transcends simple anxiety, implying a total freeze of the nervous system where the individual is momentarily incapable of reaction. It is more intense than terrified and carries a connotation of helplessness.
In a geological sense, the word refers to the process of permineralization. This is a technical description of organic material becoming stone, and unlike the emotional usage, it is a neutral, scientific term.
