Turned into bone or bonelike substance (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ossified

(Other definitions for ossified that I've seen before include "Changed into bone, or rigid and unprogressive" , "Made rigid and set into a conventional pattern" , "Turned into bone or slangily drunk" , "If so, dies, being changed into bone" , "rigidly conventional" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
