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.
