When minerals replace bone (organic matter), the type of fossil form is Petrification.
Petrification types of fossils are abundantly found in Gondwanaland. Both plants and animals are subjected to this process, particularly those having hard tissues like bones and vasculature.

When minerals replace bones a fossils forms?
When minerals replace bone (organic matter), the type of fossil form is Petrification. Petrification types of fossils are abundantly found in Gondwanaland. Both plants and animals are subjected to this process, particularly those having hard tissues like bones and vasculature.
A dinosaur tooth can be fossilized when the minerals that make up rock replace the minerals that is made up the bones what is this process called?
This process is called fossilization. Minerals from the surrounding rock infiltrate the bone structure, gradually replacing the organic material with minerals such as silica or calcite, turning it into a fossil.
Is calcium the main substance that forms bones?
Calcium and phosphorus are the two main minerals in bone.
Which fossil type is an open space left inside a rocky by an organism that has decayed?
The fossil type described is known as a "mold." A mold forms when an organism, such as a shell or bone, decays and leaves an impression or open space in the surrounding rock. This negative imprint can later be filled with sediment or minerals to create a cast fossil, which represents the original organism's shape.
How are petrified or perminilized fossil formed?
Permineralized fossils form when solutions rich in minerals permeate porous tissue, such as bone or wood. Minerals precipitate out of solution and fill the pores and empty spaces.
What are cast fossils?
One form of fossil forms when an organism dies and its body is covered by layers of sediment. As time passes, the organism itself, particularly when composed primarily of softer materials, is eroded and carried away, leaving a negative imprint of its body. This type of fossil is called a mold. A cast fossil forms when a mold fossil is filled with some form of mineral, usually through the seepage of water depositing the minerals within the mold. In time, the mold is filled and the materials deposited harden, creating a replica of the original fossil. This is called a cast fossil.
What is fossil calcification?
fossil calcification is when the calcium in a bone intergests and causes the bone to rott away. the calcium in a bone desintergrates leaving only the fossil behind.
What is it called when tissues are replace by harder minerals?
Ossification - tissue turns to bone Fossilisation - tissue turns to stone

What is the synonym for fossil?
bone
What is petrified rock?
The fossil remains of dinosaur bones come in a different forms. Most have been petrified with calcium, yielding a stony texture and appearance. Agatized bones were petrified with silica or quartz, which gives the bones a glassy and colorful look.
What rhymes with large dinosaur bone?
Colossal fossil
