the casts, permineralization is particularly useful in studies of the internal structures of organisms, usually of plants. Permineralization, a type of...

Petrifaction takes place through a combination of two similar processes: permineralization and replacement. These processes create replicas of the original specimen...

replaced by stone via a mineralization process that often includes permineralization and replacement. The organic materials making up cell walls have been...

A form of diagenesis is permineralization, in which buried organisms are replaced by minerals. These trilobites (Lloydolithus) were replaced by pyrite...

identified when they resemble extant fungi. Often recovered from a permineralized plant or animal host, these samples are typically studied by making...

chemical composition, a process called permineralization. The most common minerals involved in permineralization are various forms of amorphous silica...
