What fossil formed when dissolved minerals replace the remains of an organism and then harden to form rock?
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.
What happens to the minerals when the rock becomes metamorphic?
Minerals may get changed to other minerals forming a new rock. Mineral grains also become aligned in response to the increased pressure.
What happens to the minerals when a rock becomes a metamorphic rocks?
Minerals may get changed to other minerals forming a new rock. Mineral grains also become aligned in response to the increased pressure.
What do minerals seeping into an organisms remains form?
Minerals seeping into an organism's remains can form fossils through a process called mineralization. Over time, the minerals replace the original organic material, preserving the structure of the organism in the rock.
When an organism dies decays and leaves its shape in rock then rock is filled in with minerals that harden?
This process is known as fossilization, where the organic material of an organism is slowly replaced by minerals in the surrounding rock over time. This creates a replica of the organism in the rock, known as a fossil, preserving its shape and some characteristics for scientific study and understanding of past life on Earth.
What happens to the mineral when a rock becomes metamorphic?
Minerals may get changed to other minerals forming a new rock. Mineral grains also become aligned in response to the increased pressure.
A fossil formed when minerals replace all or part of an organism?
A fossil formed through the process of permineralization, where minerals gradually replace the organic materials in the organism's remains, creating a rock-like replica of the original organism. This process preserves the structure and sometimes even the cellular details of the organism.
What is a petrified fossil?
A petrified fossil is a fossil formed when organic material is replaced by minerals, turning it into stone. This process preserves the structure of the original organism but fills it with minerals, essentially creating a rock replica of the organism. Petrified fossils provide valuable information about ancient life forms and environments.
Is minerals an organism?
No. Minerals are a type of nonliving matter.
What is the answer to this describes a organism whose tissues are completely replaced by minerals?
An organism whose tissues are completely replaced by minerals is a fossil.
When minerals are changed that make up a rock this is called?
This question is worded strangely, but I think you are referring to Metamorphic rocks and metamorphism.
Are rare minerals based on their color?
No, the color is changed in rocks/minerals depending on what fragments are in them. This can only be seen through magnification. The same rock/mineral can appear different colors.
