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.
Mold Fossils: an imprint is made and fossilized Cast Fossils: an imprint that is filled in, then fossilized Permineralization: process in which an organism dies and sediment enters the body, filling in the pores of a leaf, or a bone or a shell
