In geology, petrification or petrification is the process by which organic material becomes a fossil through the replacement of the original material and the filling of the original pore spaces with minerals. So yeah the answer is petrification
Replacement process is a process in which stone recieves minerals
When minerals replace bone (organic matter), the type of fossil form is Petrification. Petrification types of fossils are abundantly found in Gondwanaland. Both plants and animals are subjected to this process, particularly those having hard tissues like bones and vasculature.

Ossification - tissue turns to bone Fossilisation - tissue turns to stone
Fossils that form through the process of mineral replacement include permineralized fossils, where minerals such as silica, calcite, or pyrite infiltrate the organic tissues of an organism, often preserving fine details of its structure. This process typically occurs in environments with mineral-rich water, allowing minerals to crystallize within the cells and gradually replace the organic material. Common examples include petrified wood and some bone fossils, where the original organic material is completely replaced by minerals, creating a rock-like replica of the organism.
An organism whose tissues are completely replaced by minerals is a fossil.
petrification
because the process involves taking tiny cells and growing them into tissues that can then be used to replace damaged tissues in people. bye :)

After minerals replace wood fibers, the wood undergoes a process called permineralization. This process fills in the spaces within the wood structure with minerals such as silica or calcite, thus preserving the wood structure but turning it into a fossil. Over time, the original organic material of the wood is completely replaced by minerals, resulting in a rock-like structure.
This process is called fossilization. Minerals from the surrounding rock infiltrate the bone structure, gradually replacing the organic material with minerals such as silica or calcite, turning it into a fossil.
Because water, minerals and prepared food materials are conducted (transported) through these tissues.
