Nitrogen Mineralization is the process in which organic forms of nitrogen {proteins in dead plant material} are converted by microbes to in-organic forms of nitrogen {ammonium & nitrate}
Fossilized wood is commonly found with replacement mineralization.

Black and old gold
The old prospector scratched his jowls as he looked a the nugget of gold.
Gold can be recognized by remote sensing through the analysis of geological features associated with gold mineralization, such as alteration patterns, mineral associations, and structural controls. Remote sensing techniques like hyperspectral imaging can detect unique spectral signatures of minerals associated with gold deposits, aiding in the identification of potential gold-rich areas. Additionally, satellite imagery can be used to map out geological structures and anomalies that may indicate the presence of gold mineralization.

It is Respiration
It's "Old Gold".
Gold itself doesn't like to form chemical compounds. That's why there isn't any "gold sulfide" or "gold carbonate" or any other mineral that we mine. Make no mistake, we do mine tons of rock and process it to get out the gold. But that's because the gold is distributed through that rock as really tiny bits. Though gold does form a few compounds, we don't really see it in nature as a mineral. Hope that makes sense, and that it helps.
