When tiny spaces inside a fossil are filled in with minerals you have what kind of preservation?

You have what is known as permineralization preservation when tiny spaces inside a fossil are filled in with minerals. This process can result in the fossil being preserved in great detail, often retaining the original structure of the organism.


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.


What is the The Process Of Changing The Hard Parts Of The Remains Of An Animal Or Plant With Minerals?

The process is call petrification, via permineralization.


How many ways can fossils formed?

freezing (refrigeration), drying (dessication), asphalt, amber, carbonization (distillation), permineralization


What are some examples of permineralization?

Some examples of permineralization include petrified wood, where organic matter is gradually replaced by minerals to create a fossilized version of the wood. Another example is fossilized bones, where minerals have replaced the organic material in the bone structure, preserving its shape and structure. In both cases, the process of permineralization involves minerals filling in the pores and voids of the organic material, essentially turning it into a rock-like structure.


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.


Which is the correct order of the typical sequence of events for fossilization?

The typical sequence or order of fossilization is when a plant or animal dies parts are preserved by freezing, mummification, distillation, or permineralization.


What is permineralization piece of wood?

Permineralized or petrification wood is form when an organic material is converted into stone. This is accomplished by replacing the original material and filing with minerals. The finest petrified wood involves amorphous silica.


When the remains of an organism are replaced by minerals.?

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
