Any of the terminal or smaller branches of an axon that terminates with specialized ending that releases neurotransmitters. 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.
As with almost all fossilization processes, the specific type of permineralization, silicification (because of its conditions for fossilization), tells us a much about what type of environment the organism most likely lived in. This is because specific fossil types occur in environments with certain features.ne of the common types of fossils is permineralization. This occurs when the pores of the plant materials, bones, and shells are impregnated by mineral matter from the ground, lakes, or ocean.
