Permineralized fossil are formed when dissolved minerals precipitate from a solution in the space occupied by the organism's remains.

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.
When did the first fossils form?
The oldest known fossils are up to 3.5 billion years old.
Two conditions necessary for fossils to form?
well in your body there are made up of fossils as fossils are formed in hot places and your body is very warm
What fossils form from impressions made in soft mud?
Imprint
Fossils are found only in .?
Sedimentary rocks
List several ways in which fossils can be made?
Fossils can form by: Freezing Amber Asphalt Carbonization
How many different ways can fossils form?
When most people think of fossils they think of dinosaur skeletons and large bones, but there are many different types of fossils to be found. Palaeontologists, people who study fossils, divide them into two major types - body fossils and trace fossils. Body fossils show us what a plant or animal looked like. The first type, body fossils, are the fossilised remains of an animal or plant, like bones, shells and leaves. These can be mould and cast fossils, like most of the fossilised dinosaur skeletons and big bones we see, replacement fossils, like petrified wood, or whole body fossils - mammoths caught in ice, or insects trapped in amber. Petrified wood, frozen mammoths, and insects in amber are all body fossils. The second type of fossil records the activity of an animal. Known as trace fossils, these include footprints, trackways, and coprolites (fossil poo!). Footprints and coprolite are trace fossils - they show us how an animal lived.
What are the types of fossils?
molds and casts, trace fossils, petrified wood, and carbon filmThe four types of fossils are mold fossils, cast fossils, true-form fossils, and trace fossils. Mold fossils are impressions from when the plant or animal first decomposed. Cast fossils are plant or animal remains. True-form fossils are remaining body parts from an animal. Trace fossils are marks that have been left by animal, such as footprints.
Does lamprophyre form fossils?
A lamprophyre is a type of ultramafic intrusive igneous rock. It is very rare for fossils to be formed in igneous rocks (and they usually only form as mold fossils in extrusive deposits). As such fossils will not form in lamprophyres.
What is fossil form a specific time period?
Index fossils (also known as guide fossils, indicator fossils or zone fossils).
Can petrified fossils form when the minerals in water make a copy of the organism?
Yes petrified fossils can form that way :)
Most fossils form in?
Flowers Fossils come out of sedimentary rock. == ==
How did fossils form?
by having a poo

How do fossils form in rocks?
That's an interesting question.Well no one knows because I went through 23 pages in google and nothing appeared
Why do animals form the best fossils?
That question can only be answered by a question. Why do you think animals form the best fossils? This question is only a opinion.
When do most fossils form?
Fossils form when something dies and it decays over theyears. Thenall you see are the bones. Like dinosaurs bones!
