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


What is it called when a structure is filled in with minerals after a animal dies?

It is called fossilization or petrification. This process involves minerals replacing the organic material of an organism, resulting in the preservation of its structure in rock.


When a plant or animal turns to stone it is called?

As bone material is leached out of bones in sediments and sedimentary rock and replaced by minerals - becoming rock - we call the process "fossilization".


How Petrification Occurs?

Petrification occurs when organic matter is replaced by minerals, usually through a process called permineralization. This process involves the infiltration of minerals into the pores of the organic material, eventually solidifying and preserving it in a rock-like form. The original organic material is effectively turned into stone, creating a fossil.


What is the type of fossil called where there is a molecule-for-molecule replacement turning the original object into a rock like object?

The type of fossil you are referring to is called a petrified fossil. Petrification occurs when minerals such as silica or calcite replace the organic material of the original object, transforming it into a rock-like structure while retaining its original shape and features.

How do you speed up the petrification process?

To speed up the petrification process, you can increase the temperature and pressure of the environment where petrification is taking place. Enhancing the mineral content of the surrounding solution can also accelerate the petrification. Additionally, exposing the object to catalysts or enzymes that promote mineral deposition can help speed up the petrification process.

Is gold involved with petrification?

Gold is not directly involved in the process of petrification, which is the transformation of organic material into a stony substance through mineralization. Petrification typically involves the replacement of organic materials with minerals like silica, calcite, or pyrite over long periods. Gold can sometimes be found in sedimentary layers alongside petrified materials, but it does not play a role in the chemical process of petrification itself.
