What is the difference between petrifaction and permineralization?

Permineralization is the process of fossilization where mainly water mineral deposits take the form of the organism. The minerals harden with time and pressure from over laying deposits turning into rock.
Petrification happens when silica binds with celulose of a plant and turns into stone often retaining the microstructure of the plant.

How do fossils form through permineralization and carbonization?
Permineralized fossil are formed when dissolved minerals precipitate from a solution in the space occupied by the organism's remains.

What does Permineralization mean?
Permineralization is one of the ways in which a plant or animal can be turned into a fossil.
What is required in order for petrifaction to occur?
Petrifaction, also known as mineralization, occurs when organic matter is gradually replaced by minerals to form a fossil. It requires a slow and steady deposition of minerals, typically from groundwater, to encase and replace the original organic material. The process can take millions of years to complete.
What is an anthropolite?
An anthropolite is a petrifaction of the human body, or of any portion of it.
How are trees that been buried by volcanic ash preserved?

The fossilizing process that replaces organic matter with silica or calcite is?
The fossilizing process that replaces organic matter with silica or calcite is called permineralization. In this process, minerals such as silica or calcite fill in the pore spaces of the original organic material, creating a fossil with fine details preserved.
Bones are filled with liquid minerals which later harden it is called?

What is a bone filled with liquid minerals which would later harden called?
permineralization
When tiny spaces inside a fossil are filled in with minerals you have what kind of preservation?
Permineralization.
Why does petrifaction usually produce fossils with more information than fossil casts?
Because it is harder.
