Telodendria originally refer to the terminal branches of dendrites, now they refer to the main or terminal arborization of an axon. Word origin: Greek tÃ©los (end) + Greek dÃ©ndron (tree).
Permineralization is one of the ways in which a plant or animal can be turned into a fossil. During this process, mineral rich water seeps into the void spaces of an organism, leaving deposits of minerals behind that slowly build up, creating a cast of the organism.
Rockhound. Fossilization is the preservation of any traces of organisms in sedimentary rock or ice, including bodies, body parts, tracks, gastroliths, burrows, footprints, stems, leaf, bark, roots, shells, and body waste.What is commonly thought of as a fossil, skeletal remains in stone, are a result of permineralization.etrification is also a form of fossilization, caused by the replacement of the organic material with minerals, mainly quartz. Fossilization can also occur from burial of an organism, or trace of an organism, by sediments which later become sedimentary rock.
