Replacement minerals.
An Introduction to the Rock-Forming Minerals was created in 1966.
A fossil formed in this way is called a petrified fossil. It occurs when minerals gradually replace the organic material in an organism's remains, creating a stone replica of the organism. This process is known as petrification.
No. Silicates are the largest group of rock forming minerals.

A mold fossil is formed when an organism dissolves and leaves an empty space in a rock. This empty space can later be filled by other minerals, forming a cast fossil.
Evaporation of a solution containing certain minerals may cause those minerals to crystalize, forming a solid.

Quartz is one of the eight basic rock-forming minerals, also known as the "Rock-Forming Minerals of the Earth's Crust." It is abundant in igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks, contributing to the structure and composition of many rock types. Along with quartz, other common rock-forming minerals include feldspar, mica, amphibole, pyroxene, olivine, calcite, and garnet.
A mineral or an aggregate of minerals from which a valuable constituent, especially a metal, can be profitably mined or extracted is known as ore, while the ordinary rock does not has any economical value.
The Solvent
There are many rock forming minerals but some examples are peridotite,gabbro,basalt etc.Olivine is used in jewellery and a rock forming mineral.
These minerals are usually dark in color, Ferromagnesian Minerals minerals are also denser than other rock-forming minerals.Resources: Science Impact Integrated Science Third Edition (Academe) pp.73
