What is organic material is dissolved by the mineral-laden water each cell is dissolved and replaced by a liquid mineral is called?
The process you’re describing is known as mineralization, where organic material is dissolved by mineral-laden water, leading to the replacement of organic cells with minerals. This process often occurs in the formation of fossils, where minerals infiltrate and replace the organic components over time. The resulting mineralized structure retains the original shape but is composed of minerals instead of organic material.
